    Besides its stimulating atmosphere and friendly people, the Color Bar is a place that caters to the strengths of its employees, allowing them the opportunity to grow and explore their full potential in a fun yet professional environment. Roger sympathizes with the responsibilities of being a working parent.

    		At Color Bar, we have many activities besides work to make us work harder. Besides the Christmas party and fitness days, we have an annual Easter egg hunt. This year, Roger Perlmuter, the owner, decided to give everyone an Easter ham, but in a memorable way. 300lbs of ham were passed from employee to employee and then brought home to adorn the Easter table as special thanks for jobs well-done.

    At any given time, you can find a half dozen 6 month old babies, a pack of well- groomed dogs, toddlers taking their first steps, pet pigs, and Siamese cats roaming th halls here at the Color Bar. Today, Roger cooked hot dogs and burgers to make finding lunch easier. Everyday brings its own surprises. From bringing your loved ones to work to making your own schedule, the strong element of compromise and accommodation keeps a healthy balance between life and work, making the Color Bar experience that much more unique.

    Our Sales Manager, Anita Belfi (19 years in printing), brings home the bacon in more ways than one! She has two young sons, Dominic and Anthony as well as Carlita Pigliano, the Pot- bellied Pig.

    Roger Perlmuter, Owner of Color Bar (30 years in printing), is an avid fan of dogs. Spencer, his King Charles Spaniel regularly puts in a full day at the office. Roger is also known as the local Grill Master. Nobody can turn out a gourmet meal like Roger!

    Salesman, Marv Lockman, can make sure your job is just MARVLUS, just like his license plate says!

    What do ya know, Joe?... The answer is EVERYTHING... baseball that is! Our Production Manager, JoeMuni (30 years in printing), is a BIG Indians fan. You can usually hear the game on the office radio when the Tribe is on. Joe makes sure your job is a winner every time.

    That cat on top of that computer monitor isn't stuffed... The Creative Director, Kim Robinson (15 years in printing), gets a lot of help from her 2 Siamese cats when she is busy doing design projects. She spends any extra time hiking in the mountains. (Grand Tetons, Canadian Rockies, North Cascades, Alps, Smokies...she's not picky!)

    Got a question? Ask Dave Dreimiller (24 years in printing), Production Assistant. He knows something about just about everything! However, Dave has been focusing most of his attention on accurately restoring his beautiful historic Victorian home.

    Sheryl Branisel, our Account Manager, divides her time between two different jobs, a young son, Daniel, and a new puppy. She is the expert on balancing time and money!

    Our Press Manager, Ray Wiegand (24 years in printing), divided his time equally... like you would a football... between printing and growing prize- winning Hostas.

    Customer Service would never be the same without Karen Schenkel (10 years in printing). If you have a question about your job, Karen can find the answer for you.

    Ken Zeller (22 years in printing), our Pressman, takes first prize (with his wife, of course) for the best tasting vegetables from a very prolific garden!

    Our man of many talents, Jason Bonhard, can help you with your Website, proofread your project, answer your phone calls, help you with your e- mail, AND write award-winning stories. He is responsible for the poem on the front of this newsletter.

    Marisela Moon is the smiling face that greets you at the door. She is our Account Assistant and keeper of the best Positive Attitude.
