Dear American Clay Community,
With our fearless leader, Croft Elsaesser, away on a well deserved vacation, I am excited about the opportunity to greet you this Month! My name is Jenny Russell and I have happily been with American Clay since January of this year. I have already had the pleasure of speaking with many of you and I love hearing about your proposed projects and, in turn, helping them come to fruition. As a new member of the American Clay Family, I also truly appreciate your questions and empathize in the desire to understand the many attributes of American Clay! Whether you are a new user, a new dealer or applicator, or a seasoned clay aficionado--there is always something evolving or new to learn about American Clay. In that aspect, we are exhibiting the properties of the clay itself; absorbing and releasing the elements around us in an effort to create a better environment. So, thank you, American Clay Community for your enthusiasm, your pioneering spirit, and your willingness to be life-long learners of our products, procedures, application techniques, etc., as it is such a crucial and rewarding part of our industry and our existence. I hope I can contribute to a positive experience in your acquisition of American Clay I look forward to many new lessons together! Jenny Russell Sales Team American Clay jenny@americanclay.com 866.404.1634 ext. 107
