ANNOUNCING FREE PAPER MONTH

On behalf of the entire PaperChain committee I am happy to announce "JULY is National Free Paper Month". We are currently forming a committee to work out all the details on how to promote and celebrate it.  Many ideas have been bantered about and I can assure you the ideas are awesome!  The internal committee came up with the idea to switch the celebration from March to July in order to take advantage of the spirit of independence.

Dan Alexander, Sr. and co-chair of the internal marketing committee for PaperChain said, "Given the state of some daily pubs pulling back, I think the political mood is such that we could be welcomed as providing our communities with a very valuable service, supporting and providing an economic stimulant and identity to the areas we serve. Mom, Apple Pie and your Free Community Paper. It doesn't get any more patriot than that!!!"

Scarlette Merfeld from Denton Publications has agreed to chair the Free Paper Month committee and if you would like to be involved, please drop me an email.  Please watch for details and help us to promote our industry and plan to get involved in National Free Paper Month - July!

Officials for Rotary International have been invited to attend the AFCP conference in Denver April 25-27 to meet with publishers to encourage participation in PaperChain organized Rotary promotional materials.  Please help us to help Rotary meet their marketing needs and help prove the effectiveness of free papers!

Lastly I want to encourage you to share the Link and Learn and Link and Earn with your staff members.  This unique monthly feature is courtesy of PaperChain!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any PaperChain related questions or to volunteer to help.
