This past weekend, we all got together for a few hours of BBQ’d goodness, cold beverages and a bit of competition. Our annual BBQ was held in the same place as last year… a nice community park surrounded by towering oak trees in the small ranching town of Durham. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing Saturday gathering. We had plenty of food for everyone, including tri-tip, bratwurst, hotdogs, and black bean burgers. After feasting, we began the games, which included a bean-bag toss and ladder golf. On the line was a paid day-off, so everyone got involved! Alas, there could be only one winner, and Zach took home the prize. Here are a few pics from the event:

Everyone's just waiting for their turn!

Shooting the breeze.

It was a winning shot!

It’s not quite the cross-country road trip you take in college, but our travels to Philadelphia this summer were a welcome getaway. We exhibited at the SLA and AALL conferences, and since both were held in Philly this year, we had a chance to check out the city and not just the convention center. Our time in the conference hall, however, was fun and fast-paced, meeting attendees and handing out swag.

Out of the hundreds who entered our drawing for a Nook Color, Debbie Rusin of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP walked away with the prize. To everyone, we’d like to offer a big thank-you for stopping by, and hope to see you next year!

It’s that time of year again! Later this week, we’ll be on our way to Philadelphia to exhibit at the 2011 AALL Annual Meeting & Conference. This year promises to be an inspiring and energizing convention for legal information professionals, with four days of valuable educational programming and many opportunities for networking. In addition to the many programs, which include topics on managing library costs and improving efficiency, there will be nearly 100 vendor exhibitors ready to help you get a current pulse on the industry.

While this conference has much to offer attendees, we’d like to take this opportunity to discuss your document delivery needs and find out how we can better serve them. Whether you’ve been using our service for years or just discovered us, we’d appreciate the chance to meet you and learn about your needs. We’ll have plenty of pens, letter openers, fun buttons, and a Nook Color we’re looking to unload! We’ll be at booth 836, just down the second aisle from the right side of the convention center.

Hope to see you there!
