Flexo Students Need Travel Sponsors for Challenge Competition
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—You can personally sponsor an individual high school student's travel by providing Frequent Flyer Points or an airline ticket for those participating in the International Phoenix Challenge High School Flexo Skills Competition, April 7-8, 2005.
The annual competition, held at the Harper Campus, Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte, NC, anticipates about 46 students competing in 2005 on one Mark Andy and two Comco flexo presses; with at least 32 of the participants traveling from outside the Carolinas. Students from Toronto, Canada; Winnipeg, Canada; New Jersey and Wisconsin, etc., will be flying to Charlotte for the intense two-day competition, accompanied by their teachers/instructors.
According to the Phoenix Challenge Foundation Chairman, Bettylyn Krafft, the youngsters cannot afford the airfare and require help from the flexographic industry. It takes from 25,000 to 50,000 Frequent Flyer Points for one student to fly round trip to Charlotte.
Contact Howard Vreeland, Anderson & Vreeland, telephone (419) 636-5002, or email hbvjr@andvre.com for more information or to contribute Frequent Flyer Points or airline tickets to this very important flexo education event.
