		<description><![CDATA[An age-old tradition, cast plaques have been a standard for commemoration and recognition literally for centuries. Yet just in my lifetime, hand set type has replaced by photographic typographical reproduction which meant that logos and anyone's typestyle preferences could be reproduced in bronze perfectly.  This photographic advancement in castings (bronze and aluminum) is called "Imagecast" by Matthews, is a natural "next step" for the industry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Overall, my first experience at master planning for donor recognition was smooth and I enjoyed the thoughtful process and experience between both the client and my new company. It is clear after completing this signature process that Catawba Valley Medical Center is in full control now to maximize their efforts in soliciting and, later in recognizing donors. As testament, at least in part, to their success of getting recognition planning completed early, they have secured 20% of their campaign goals and the support of  key medical groups in their community. In this case "good-timing" does equal "money".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HOT!" This just in from Memphis. A  destination for  Philanthropy  at  Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. I told my team that I had been in this industry for longer than I wanted to count anymore. Never been a presentation of the power of giving, a culture of philanthropy, like this before. Interactive, playful, motivating and uplifting."  Nothing  like this anywhere else....unique, easy to use, architecturally appropriate, based upon recognition program standards and guidelines and built within budget. I am very proud of our work to tie Best Practices in Donor Recognition and total creativity together so well. It's the epitome of "Think Before You Thank".]]></description>

I thought the answers might be useful, especially, to healthcare fundraisers interested in promoting employee giving.  And do remember, theoretically, the same thinking applies to all staff, volunteer and auxiliary giving program recognition.]]></description>
