Ad Dancer with Custom Dye-Sub Printed Logo / Message
Dye-sublimation is a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto medium materials such as a plastic card, paper, or in this case Ripstop Nylon fabric. The sublimation name is applied because the dye transitions between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This means that your logo is permanently absorbed into the fabric producing the highest quality image possible with lasting results.

Thomas & Betts – Bringing the Power of Electricity into Your Life
Every day, everywhere, hundreds of millions of electrical products get plugged in. From personal care appliances to industrial production machinery, we depend upon electricity to support the life we enjoy.
It takes a lot more than an outlet on the wall to bring the power of electricity into our lives. It takes boxes and fittings. Connectors and fasteners. Wiring duct and terminal. Cable tray and rstrut. Grounding and insulation. Switchgear and high voltage rubber goods. Transmission poles and towers.
Peel back the walls of your home or office, look inside the electrical appliances that fill your home or workplace, or gaze out at the landscape on your next drive in the country, and you’ll find these, and hundreds of other Thomas & Betts products helping connect and transmit electricity for everyday use. In industrial facilities, you’ll discover our electrical products helping power industrial machinery and our heating products helping control comfort and energy costs.
The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Visit us at www.marchofdimes.com.
Preventing birth defects
Its original mission accomplished, the foundation turned its focus to preventing birth defects and infant mortality. The March of Dimes has led the way to discover the genetic causes of birth defects, to promote newborn screening, and to educate medical professionals and the public about best practices for healthy pregnancy. We have supported research for surfactant therapy to treat respiratory distress and helped initiate the system of regional neonatal intensive care for premature and sick babies. Our recent Folic Acid Campaign achieved a dramatic reduction in the incidence of neural tube defects, birth defects of the brain and spine.
Fighting premature birth
Since 2003, our fight to save babies has been strongly characterized by our Prematurity Campaign. The rising incidence of premature birth has demanded action, and the March of Dimes has responded by initiating an intensive, multi-year campaign to raise awareness and find the causes of prematurity.
The money raised with the March for Babies funds important research and programs that help babies begin healthy lives.
When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2 billion to benefit all babies.

Michael David Winery is a family owned and operated company. Home of the 7 Deadly Zins, Earthquake Wines, & Petite Petit.
The Phillips family has been farming since our Great Great Grandfather Andrew Harshner and his wife Lucille homesteaded 160 acres near the town of Lodi, following the Civil War in the 1860′s. The region’s natural affinity for grape growing quickly became evident, and by the turn of the century (the last one), twenty-five percent of California’s grape acreage was in Lodi. A generation later saw the demise of many pioneering wineries in the state.
Originally devoted to vegetables, the Phillips’ farms evolved to include many different fruits, including fifteen different wine varietals that were shipped throughout the country during Prohibition with instructions on “how not to have the grapes turn into wine”. Thereby, Prohibition was good for Lodi growers, with families everywhere keeping up the tradition of wine with meals by ordering these grapes and “juice” to be bottled at home.
