Here's How the City of Boise Will Celebrate
 To celebrate In-Plant Awareness Week the City of Boise's Print and Mail Services will host an open house. "We will have all-new brochures, notepads and bookmarks to hand out, as well as pens and other items from our vendors," explains Manager Sylvia Marmon, CGCM. "We've also been gathering door prizes from our vendors, and the best ones will be reserved for those guests who participate in our geo-caching game. Demos and tours will be given by all staff. Oh, and don't forget the homemade treats - gotta have food!" |
