The initial request wasfor 1000 sets of business cards with orders coming from35 locations all needing to be produced and deliveredwithin 10 days. In addition proofing was required via theon-line ordering site and was part of the 10 dayrequested turn time. This was a very difficult task andGina got it done.

Kudos to Kristina, Lindsey and Patty for participating in the Team Ortho Minneapolis Half Marathon earlier thismonth. After four months of intense training, all three completed their FIRST half marathon with the same goal– to finish! Bob and Emily Waitz provided cheers and much needed encouragement on the sidelines halfwaythrough the course and the runner’s husbands were there to watch them cross the finish line. Being thededicated employees that they are, they even donned TEAM/MHC tattoos (hmmm – next year sponsorship?)Congratulations girls!!
