Name Tag, Inc. is excited to announce their most recent donation recipient. The following is a post by the organization.

LA Museum of the HolocaustThe Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust is delighted to have worked with Name Tag, Inc. Not only do they provide excellent customer service but they produce high quality products that even arrived early. As a World Class Museum, we host many events on a monthly basis. It was important for us to have professional name tags in order for our Staff and Board Members to be easily identified. We are thankful to Nametag.com for helping to make this a reality. In the event you are not familiar with us we have provided some history below.

History:

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMH) is the oldest Holocaust museum in the United States.  In 1961 at Hollywood High School, a group of Survivors taking English as a Second Language classes found one another and shared their experiences.  They discovered that each of them had a photograph, concentration camp uniform, or other precious primary source object from the Holocaust era.  They decided that these artifacts needed a permanent home where they could be displayed safely and in perpetuity.  At the same time, they also wanted a place to memorialize those who perished and help to educate the world so that no one would ever forget the horrible atrocities of the Holocaust.  Some of these founding Survivors remain active on the LAMH Board of Directors today.

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust has a two-fold mission that has remained constant since its inception in 1961: commemoration and education. LAMH uniquely offers free admission to all visitors because the founding Survivors insisted that no visitors ever be turned away from learning about the Holocaust for lack of an entry fee. The Museum particularly meets the needs of students from under-funded schools and under-served communities. We guarantee dialogue with an actual Survivor, a living embodiment of history.

With a small and dedicated staff, the Museum fulfills its mission to commemorate and educate.

On October 14, 2010, Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust opened the doors to its new building in Pan Pacific Park across the street from The Grove in Los Angeles. The new building, designed by acclaimed architect Hagy Belzberg, has one of the largest intensive green roofs in California and has been Gold LEED certified. The design received the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Commission Design Honor Award and the Green Building Design Award. The architecture and layout plays a significant role in visitors’ experiences as the nine rooms descend and decrease in light as visitors progress towards the darkest part of history. Technology functions as a tool to enhance the experience and takes several forms throughout the Museum including interactive video and audio exhibits.

The Museum is proud to announce the opening of its new permanent exhibit, Tree of Testimony: The USC Shoah Foundation Institute Survivor Interviews at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. The Tree of Testimony is a 65 screen video sculpture that will rotate through all 52,000 Shoah survivor testimonies every 10 months. This cutting edge exhibit allows visitors a personal interaction with a survivor in a manner in which no other Museum has done. Please take a look at this wonderful article published by LA Weekly to see a picture and learn more information about the exhibit.

A stock name tag we made for Friends of Cats.

Meow!

I’m thrilled to spotlight another great customer of Name Tag, Inc., Friends of Cats! I want to thank Shelter Manager Janet Bianchini for allowing us to recognize the non-profit organization.

Bianchini first provided a general overview of Friends of Cats.

“Friends of Cats is a no-kill shelter for cats located in El Cajon, California, and is incorporated as a tax exempt, non-profit organization under IRS rule 501(c)(3). Founded in 1929, we are dedicated to providing shelter and medical care to abandoned cats and those whose owners are unable to care for them. Once their health is assured, we try to find them good homes. We do not euthanize, except as a matter of compassion if a cat is fatally ill or suffering. From newborn kittens to older resident cats living out their lives, as well as an ever-changing population of adoptable cats, the Shelter houses approximately 300 cats at any given time.

Friends of Cats is supported solely through memberships, revenues from adoptions and relinquishments, donations, fund-raising activities, grants, and legacies,” she said.

Friends of Cats ordered stock name tags to provide easy identification of the staff for any visitors coming to the shelter.

Bianchini spoke highly of the name tags.

“[They're] durable and well made. Staff excited to have their own personalized name tag!”

With the plan to order more in the future for new staff and for any necessary replacements, Bianchini described Friends of Cats using these three simple words, “We save cats!”

As a animal admirer myself, I’m certainly glad that there are organizations like Friends of Cats providing safety and care for furry felines and more.

 

Nell's Name Plate and Wall Mount at ContentWatch.

Do you worry about the level of protection you have on the internet at work or at home? ContentWatch can help! I’m excited to recognize such an innovative company. Executive Assistant Michele Nell was kind to share ContentWatch’s experience with ordering from Name Tag, Inc.

She first provided some background on ContentWatch.

“ContentWatch is the makers of Net Nanny and Content Protect Software. We are a small company located in the Salt Lake Valley,” she said.

The company purchased Name Plates and Wall Mounts from us, and was very pleased with our timeliness and compatibility.

“Name Tag, Inc. was so fast in getting us a quality product. Very easy to work with as well.”

In addition, ContentWatch was also pleased with our quality, price, and variety.

“[The Name Plates] are a quality product for a great price. I liked the variety, especially variety in colors.”

We look forward to work with ContentWatch again, as Nell said that they will order from us in the future. We’re happy to do business with a company that Nell described as offering, “Cutting edge protection.”
