Bev McMurray and Tim McCray hosted Katie Green (Derek Porter Studio) and Molly Oller (George Butler & Assoc.) at the Kurt Versen factory. In addition to learning about the superior quality of the KV downlights and reflectors, the group got a look at the anodizing process used on the reflectors. Kurt Versen treated the team to an extra day of hotel stay which allowed them the chance to tour New York City, shop, and have lunch at Tavern On The Green!

Happy Birthday to Tim McCray, Missy Ladendorf, Brea Wise, Diana Kepferle, Ross Hasler, Kate Wimer, Brad Hull, and Doug Harwood.
The third installment of the MZ Monthly Luncheon series, held on the Country Club Plaza, was a hit. The team brought in Erin Yarhaus of Focal Point, and after a positive response of initial announcements, had to do two presentations. Each went very well as Erin displayed and previewed new products. With great design and excellent quality, Focal Point holds true to their slogan: the art of light.
