Calendars Now Available
Free Calendars for Our Customers
by Peter "the Printer" Lineal
 Every year, we partner with the Prairie Center for the Arts Foundation and Harris Bank of Roselle to develop a calendar. We co-sponsor an art competition for our towns' students and feature the winners in this calendar.
The YouthArt competition and Calendar is now in its ninth year. We're proud to say that over 600 students, Kindergarten through Grade 12, submitted their artwork this year.
Last year, we worked with the Polish Roman Catholic Union on a YouthArt Calendar honoring the Pope in his 25th Anniversary year. This year, we are working with the Village of Palatine to develop a calendar for students there as well.
Several business leaders from other Chicagoland communities have approached us about doing a similar YouthArt competition. If you are interested, we would be happy to co-sponsor a calendar program for your community.
