We are designing a new website for Aurum Design Jewelry in downtown Rochester, and consequently found ourselves in need of stunning photographs to accompany the soon to be stunning website. And what better place to do a photo shoot than in the basement of Aurum! Thanks to Trumbo Photography for a successful shoot! Stay tuned for a sneak peek of the new Aurum website.
The Green City Committee of Rochester shines at www.mainstreet.org. For those of you who I have not told, it is a committee that I founded to help make Rochester a ‘greener’ place to live.
Monday, December 21 is Double Your Donation Day at Gleaners Community Food Bank—Donate today at www.gcfb.org
Children comprise about one-third of those in poverty in southeast Michigan.
After reading the latest article in the Free Press on “Hunger: Food desperation on the rise in metro Detroit,” I can’t help but be grateful for what I do have. We as business owners are experiencing new and interesting times but most of us do not have to face a day without enough food.
There is something that we can do. Log onto gcfb.org and donate to Gleaners Community Food Bank, southeast Michigan’s largest food bank that serves and distributes food to over 420 partner agencies and community organizations in the area.
Trent Design has just completed glass signage for the walls inside of the city’s firehouses. Working with Jeff Umsted from Blasted Creations, Trent designed mountable plaques as markers for the building. The plaques record the city council staff members, battalion chief and general coordinators responsible for the station architecture.
Printed in layers, the image rests on one level while the type is printed on-top another. When placed together, the sign takes on a subtle 3-Dimensional quality and serves as a reminder to visitors and occupants.
