Program

Greg explained his business, which is comprised of 3 divisions. An off-set printing division which includes an art area for design, a copy division (produces 3-4 million copies a month) and a mailing division. Greg and his 2 brothers started in a basement with a one-color press. They first built a building on Arapahoe Road across the street from a chicken farm. Their business continued to grow and 7 1/2 years ago they built the current facility and moved. Their current facility has 3500 square feet and there are 89 other tenants in the complex. They have been in business 35 years and Greg and his three brothers have offices in the building. 2006 was their best year ever. Greg then took members on a tour of the facility.

Marbles

Andres drew a clear marble and the pot of $645 plus will carry over.
