The Bill Santucci Memorial Golf Tournament, last Friday, Sept 18.  This charitable golf tournament is another terrific example of grass roots fund raising in our community.  All proceeds raised are used for scholarships to benefit Roseville High School District graduating seniors and students at Sierra college.  Last year’s event raised over $20,000 and providing 20 scholarships to South Placer students.  This year, Signs On Time has elected to be a tee sponsor.

Lobby Lettering

Three-dimensional lettering for your lobby can make a dramatic first impression about your company.  This is especially true if your logo is included.  If you don’t have a logo but you use a particular font style that is associated with your company,  using that letter style makes a professional statement on it’s own. 

Today, Signs On Time installed some 3-D letters on a lobby wall in an attorney’s office that made just such a professional statement.  The company, Law Office of Lorraine Gingery located at The Fountains shopping center, just relocated to this new location and the lettering that we installed for her makes a very positive impact when you walk into the office.

While checking out at a local supermarket this week, the cashier looked at me with a raised eyebrow as she scanned a large chocholate bar.  I of course, fained no knowledge of how it got into my basket.  Then she gave me a knowing wink and said “Eat the chocolate slow.” 

I bring this up because those words remind me to savor the moments of life.  This has been a very busy week for us and I’m grateful for it, but with all the deadlines and rushing around, it’s easy to forget to have fun and appreciate all of my blessings.  I’m thankful for being able to do something that I love and to share that with my wife.  I’m also thankful for our great employees that are like family to us, and customers and vendors that have become friends.  My experience has been that the more I can live in the present, the more I find the things that are really important.  The things that last.

So I’m going to try to eat my chocolate a little slower this week, and enjoy the ride.

Two weeks ago Signs On Time made golf tournament sponsor signs for a non-profit organization that donates money for childhood cancer research.  The Keaton Raphael Memorial was founded in 1998 and is dedicated to helping families in Northern California whose children have been diagnosed with all types of cancer through; financial, emotional and educational support and resources.  Their scope is actually even larger than that.  See their web site at ChildCancer.org for complete information.  A very worthy cause.  We’ve been making their golf sponsor signs every year since their inception.  This year at the golf tournament fundraising dinner, they presented a check of $100,000 to UC Regents for childhood cancer research.  This worthy grass-roots organization is always looking for dedicated volunteers.  I know we’re glad to be a part of it.

During our 18 years in business in Roseville, Signs On Time has always been involved in the communities around us.  One of the events in which we love to be a sponsor is the Lincoln Showcase.  It’s an annual event put on by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce since 2002.  The event is designed to show off the quality of the local wineries and restaurants who offer free samples.  OK, it’s not exactly free.  It’s a fund raiser for the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce who sells tickets to the event.  It’s a really fun event usually held in the evening, in downtown Lincoln, where they close the streets to vehicles and people can wander around from display to display, sampling the wares.  They have live music usually from several bands with dancing and it becomes quite the outdoor evening party.  This year’s event is on Sept. 26.  Check it out.

Today we got to be the hero in one local high school cheerleader’s heart (and perhaps her parent’s hearts too).  It seems that in all the anticipation of the football team’s opening game tonight, our young lady had forgotten that it was her responsibility to get her cheerleader’s megaphone lettered with her name and the school mascot’s name on it.  When she and her parents came into the store late this afternoon with the unlettered megaphone and told us what they needed to put on it, they asked with a slightly noticable sense of anguish in their voice, “How soon can you do it?”  It turns out that they needed it in an hour.  Well, we did the work and an hour later a relieved parent came to pick it up.  I think there might be a very grateful cheerleader some where out there tonight.  It’s one of the neat things I like about this job.  Happy to do it.  Glad to be of service.
