Created by Chicago’s Firebelly Design and digitally printed by JS McCarthy Printers, this welcome kit for new members of the TDC hammers home one of the organization’s core messages – “Type drives curiosity.” It does this through the use of a small number of typefaces printed on papers of all different shapes, sizes and colors, all bound together in a unique way.

United Way of Kennebec Valley recently announced that it helped 57,534 people and raised $1,665,005 in the 2020 campaign. This growth represents a 3% increase in donations from 2019 and the most funds ever raised in support of UWKV’s 50 partner programs. Campaign co-chairman and -woman Chris and Sarah Voynik shared this news at UWKV’s Campaign Celebration, which attracted 87 people virtually on Jan. 27, according to a news release from Augusta-based United Way.
Acknowledging the fact that this has been one of the hardest years the Kennebec Valley has ever faced, the Voyniks asked the community in September to simply give if they had the means to do so and announced a goal of helping 56,000 people. Together, supporters exceeded that goal through the combined efforts of the annual fundraising camp
