November 15 is America Recycles Day (abbreviated as ARD), and it is a day devoted to educating American about recycling and encouraging them to incorporate “green” habits into their daily lives. This year will be the 12^th year that this day is recognized on a national level.

The purpose of the day is to inform the public about ways they can join the movement for an improved natural environment by buying certain products or recycling certain products used on a daily basis.

Not all of us consider the harm we do to the environment when we throw a gum wrapper out the car window, or when we discard our fast food trash under the car in the parking lot. It is, however, important to consider that our children, tomorrow’s future, will need to endure the serious aftermath of minor actions such as these.

Join the cause or do your part by integrating Recycled Paper Goods into your daily life.

P.S. The air is cleaner already!

Monogrammed Guest Hand Towels, or even plain solid colored paper guest towels, are making a comeback. My grandmother is old fashioned in many ways and she always manages to surprise the family with the little mannerisms that are so specific to her. She just had an eye procedure done last week and our family stopped by for a visit this past weekend. In spite of all her health issues, Lola likes to keep her space guest-ready.

She is so cute. Her bathroom is set up with matching towels and bathroom accessories that include lavender paper guest towels for her guests. It totally brought to mind all of the phone calls we’ve received from customers requesting high quality guest hand towels for their bathrooms.

I know having the perfect guest room and “powder room” is essential and a dream come true for many new wives. Ladies, (or involved new husbands) take it a step further with monogrammed guest hand towels sporting the initial of the last name you both share now.

One of the most time-consuming activities when preparing for a catering event is preparing the flatware and napkins.  Most guests enjoy having it all packaged together for easy carrying (especially in a self-service line) and for sanitation purposes.  Using pre-packaged napkins and cutlery saves the caterer precious preparation time.  Pre-packaged flatware can be found in a variety of formats, but our favorite are the pre-rolled caterwraps.

Our pre-rolled caterwraps are individually wrapped sets of plasticware in black or clear, wrapped in a Linen-Like napkin.  They are each held together with a high-gloss band, eliminating any preparation time for flatware on the part of the caterer.  Pre-rolled caterwraps are perfect for any size group and give that extra touch of class to the occasion.  Try them at dinner meetings, company functions, family reunions, birthday parties…wherever people gather to eat.

Whether you are commercially preparing foods for groups or serving up your own family reunion, pre-rolled caterwraps can save you tons of time up front.
