Tip: Care of Your Award
Always pick up and hold your award by its marble base, not by the sculpture. Clean with Windex and a soft cloth. Any other product may damage your sculpture.

Dear
Welcome to our first E-Newsletter. It's an idea we've had brewing for a long time. We wanted to develop a vehicle that would give you ways to make your next event a remarkable success. Each issue will contain "success stories" about how our clients use our awards in their event.  These stories are meant to stretch your imagination, fuel your creativity, and help you produce an event that will have a notable impact on your organization and be remembered by all attending it. After all, that's what our awards are designed to do--inspire the human spirit and imagination.

Designing for Your Vision
three appreciations
Creating an award that has meaning and significance to both the organization and their honorees is often a difficult undertaking. Not only should the honorees feel recognized, they must truly cherish the award, find it uniquely represents the organization, and want to display it prominently for others to admire. Marika Holmgren of Organic Events asked us to help design an award for her client, the Jane Goodall Institute. Organic Events is an event planning company that plans events that incorporate ecologically sustainable practices-as they say on their website: "Party lightly on the planet."

Jane Goodall, founder of the JGI, had a request to include three elements in their new Global Leadership award. By listening to the organization's request and understanding their vision, MK Shannon was able to create an award that represents the organization's goals and has real meaning to its recipients. <<Read Full Article >>
 
Appreciation: Customize it Your Way
three appreciations
Customizing one of our existing awards can save your company time and money. Appreciation, one of our most popular awards, is shown here in three different finishes--gold, silver, and pewter--and holding three different symbols. Its popularity is due in part because it can be easily customized for your organization. We've designed this award to accommodate a heart, a star, a child, your logo, or any other object that you'd like to use. In addition, the base can have an engraved plate with the name of the recipient, and the date and name of the event.  Consider using this award the next time you need a stately award you can customize easily and quickly.
