Happy New Year to those of the Jewish Faith, It's September 9, 2010

Happy September 9Th to all ...

On Saturday, Americans and many throughout the world will reflect on September 11Th. In the State of Iowa, the Iowa-Iowa State football rivalry is played. This year at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, the game will be played.

Today, we want to wish a Happy Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year, celebrating 2010 to those of the Jewish faith. For our Muslims friends, Eid al-Fitr, the three days of feasting and family gatherings to celebrate the conclusion of Ramadan, begins at sunset tonight.

For most people today, we live in challenging times. Despite our individual differences and personal challenges, we need to find a way to get to know our neighbors and work to live with one another. These can be very difficult at times with our local, state and global challenges facing many in our society.

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

• FIRST: Is it the TRUTH?


• SECOND: Is it FAIR to all concerned?


• THIRD: Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIP?


• FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

As a customer: What should you know about the New TSA screening compliance?

Most of our products are shipped via FedEx. Rarely, do are products go on passenger aircraft. We received the following E-mail from our Sales Representative from FedEx on the NEW TSA screening compliance.

Dear FedEx Clients:

A few months ago I made you aware of the NEW TSA screening compliance that goes into effect on August 1st. See Below:

Again, FedEx will not have to abide by these new TSA regulations. If you are using a freight forwarder, you may want to consider using FedEx domestic palletized service. If you are shipping Internationally, you may want to look at using FedEx International Palletized services. Do you really want your pallet broken down? Do you want your contents x-rayed?

We look forward to any conversations on this topic. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Service.
