When In-plant Awareness Month kicked off on Feb. 1, the Palm Beach County (Florida) Graphics Division didn’t celebrate alone. The 10-employee in-plant got the entire county involved, greatly expanding awareness of its services.

A proclamation from the Board of County Commissioners, unveiled this week, declares Feb. 2020 to be In-plant Print Shop Awareness Month in Palm Beach County. Here’s what it says:
