Adopt-a-Park

Sheridan's first Adopt-a-Park program was a success! About 20 members of the Capacity to Care team arrived at Kendrick Park on Monday, July 18th to sweep pavilions, scrape gum and other debris from park property, remove yard waste and pick up trash (especially cigarette butts).

We were very pleased with our clean up job and we hope that more local businesses will participate in the Adopt-a-Park program. We'd like to extend a special thanks to Chuck Carbert, Sheridan's Parks Director for all of his hard work!

The Man Behind the Printer

Have you ever seen a large format printer? It is quite impressive. The mere size of the device and its capabilities are fascinating. We are quite proud of our large format printer and are constantly amazed by its quality. The real story, though, is the man behind the printer. His name is Dwayne Hoopes.







Dwayne Hoopes loads fabric into Bella's large format printer.





Dwayne embodies the value of caring that we strive so hard for here at Bella Graphics & Display. When asked what he would do in the event that he won the lottery, he was quick to say that he would take care of his family.





"They've been taking care of me my whole life, so it's only fair that I take care of them."





Not only is he compassionate, but he also recognizes the value of giving back. He realizes that we all possess the capacity to care.





His mindset is truly inspiring when one considers the obstacles he has overcome. After years of struggling with addiction, Dwayne left everything he knew in Utah and made a fresh start for himself here in Sheridan. He joined our production team in November of 2010. When we needed someone to run the printer, Dwayne was quick to step up to the plate, even though he had no prior experience.





We couldn't have asked for a better candidate to fill that vacancy. Dwayne handles each project with the precision and care of a professional. He is down-to-earth, easy to work with and his story is incredibly touching. Next time you see one of our banners, signs, posters, etc., we hope you'll think of the man behind the printer.
