June Meeting - Great Surprises, Learning and More!

Attendees at the Two Rivers Chapter's June 2006 meeting were greeted with a surprising treat.

You can be sure we'll all take advantage of this very special giveaway. Thanks Herrington!

John Gordon of Acco Swingline provided us with a great overview of the office tools that have been designed to make our jobs easier. Some of the items proved especially popular, such as the stapler with a built in staple remover!
