DHL DELIVERS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON TO U.S. TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
 

Express Delivery Company Partners with New York Communities for Annual Trees for Troops Charitable Program 
 
DHL is partnering with local communities in New York to deliver live holiday trees and decorations to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East through DHL's annual Trees for Troops charitable program. This program has collected and shipped thousands of holiday trees, lights, ornaments, menorahs and messages of support to the brave men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain and Kuwait since 2004. 
 
Local businesses, organizations, private citizens and nurseries have joined forces with DHL in donating and delivering 750 trees and holiday decorations overseas. THE NEW YORK official send-off events hosted by DHL in New York was on December 3rd. 
 
Some of the companies that teamed up with DHL for this send off included Dee's Nursery in Oceanside, New York, the New York State Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and other members of the local New York metro community who donated hundreds of trees and holiday decorations to the program. "Santa Sacks" filled with thousands of holiday cards written by local school children were sent along with the shipment. The December 3rd send-off began at Dee's Nursery followed by the movement of the shipment to DHL's gateway at John F. Kennedy International Airport. 

The event moved inside to a room adorned with Holiday Decorations.  WL Concepts & Production, Inc. a Signage, Graphics and Display firm provided full holiday regala for this event.  Their expertise in visual merchandising paid off with a beautifully decorated Large Christmas Tree.  This one large tree was decorated with specially displayed Teddy Bears, unusal ornaments, and an attention popping display of DHL Trucks with loads set up on a track around the tree to highlight DHL.  Five smaller trees included DHL model planes as part of the decorations.  Several Wreaths and Garland also adorned the room.  These visual displays and holiday decorations are just one of the many projects completed by the gifted and talented team members of WL Concepts & Production for DHL.

DHL launched its annual Trees for Troops program in December 2004, when Jim Adelis, a New York businessman whose son was stationed in Iraq at the time, reached out to DHL to assist in transporting a shipment of trees to the Middle East. In November and December 2004, with the help of the U.S. Army Reserve 77th Regional Readiness Command, Dee's Nursery and the local New York metro community, DHL delivered two shipments featuring a total of 135 trees and holiday decorations from JFK to troops stationed at Camp Anaconda in Balad, Iraq.

Merokian honored for his philanthropy

Bill Levine, a Merrick resident, was recently honored by the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County (UCPN) at the 7th annual ucpn Dignitary Awards Luncheon.
 
President of his synagogue for the past three years with various other positions prior to that, Mr. Levine has undeniably and tirelessly shown his commitment to community service.
 
On his first visit to UCPN in 2007, he learned that the agency was about to celebrate its 60th anniversary of assisting individuals with disabilities.
 
His company, WL Concepts, then proceeded to design a commemorative banner, had it produced and donated a collection of them to adorn the grounds of the ucpn facility. WL Concepts also took a list of significant dates in the history of ucpn and transformed them into a spectacular timeline display that was donated and made its debut at the anniversary celebration day last May.
 
The timeline will remain a permanent display in the ucpn breezeway and will be a resource to be enjoyed by all.
 
The UCPN has been assisting individuals with disabilities since 1948.  Today, close to 2,000 children and adults benefit from the programs and services offered by the agency.
 
Mr. Levine started his company WL Concepts in 2000. By obtaining guidance through the New York State Department of Labor through its SEAP (Self-Employment Assistance Program) Program, and with assistance from a mentor and now friend, former Naval officer John Narciso, Mr. Levine was able to begin his own company.
 
Since 2000 he has ignited a revolution in on-site branding, graphic displays, and signage. He motivates everyone he meets with his wit, humor and gregarious personality. His client roster reads like a “who’s who” in marketing.
 
By capturing the imagination of some of the world’s most successful marketers he has inspired new trends, developed long- term relationships, which have allowed him to reach phenomenal success and growth with his fairly young company.
 
He is an entrepreneur in every sense of the word.  He takes lemons and there will always be lemonade for all to share.  His ideas know no limits or bounds. Mr. Levine truly loves coming to work every day and making people happy.  All at UCPN are grateful to him and the staff of W.L. Concepts for their generosity and support.
 
Mr. Levine is the husband of Audrey Conti-Levine and father to Alissa, Robert and James, and grandfather of two.

Create Eye-Popping Displays Using Canvas Prints

by wlconcepts 15. January 2009 09:28

Making your business look unique helps it to rise above the competition in the mind of your customers. The interior graphics of your company can help create a distinguishing ambience, but too many businesses end up looking alike because they use the same display signage and materials. Instead, establish a distinctive atmosphere by decorating with canvas prints created by WL Concepts.

Where Can Canvas Prints Be Used?

You can use canvas prints instead of more conventional sign materials for almost any kind of display signage. Most businesses use canvas prints as decorative touches. You should cover up any uninviting expanses of bare walls with visual displays. These will add warmth while also maintaining a professional appearance.

Canvas prints can also be used for more functional display signage. WL Concepts can use large format printing to put your corporate logo on this material. The name of your company spelled out on a large canvas behind the receptionist's desk will create a sophisticated, unique impression.

The Advantages Of Canvas

Canvas has been the preferred medium of painters for centuries, and it’s easy to see why. The material adds a unique, artistic feel to any piece. Texture is one of the major design elements, and any graphic on canvas achieves a physical texture that no other medium can replicate. Other surfaces like plastic, paper, and metal give off flat displays that don't make as much of an impact. The texture of canvas prints can give off a depth and vibrancy that touches people.

Overall, people are innately attracted to natural materials like wood and cloth. These materials speak to us in ways that harsh, modern materials can’t by reminding us of a simpler time before today’s urbanized world. Whether they realize it or not, people yearn for reminders of the natural world that they may be too busy to enjoy.

The Printing Process - No Paintbrushes Required

You don’t need a skilled and expensive artist to create high quality canvas prints. These displays are now available to anyone with the advent of modern inkjet printers. You can either design your own graphics to go on the canvas, or have a signage provider like WL Concepts create the graphics in house.

Any image that can be printed on paper can also be printed on canvas. The industrial inkjet printers at WL Concepts make large format printing easy and can print out sheets up to 6 feet wide. And even larger displays can be made by combining several sheets to make a sign of any size.

One of the only limitations with canvas prints is that they don't tolerate environmental elements very well, and their use should be limited to interior graphics. Any canvas display set up outdoors will fade just like any other printed display signage. But as long as canvas prints are used inside and kept out of direct sunlight, they will retain their bright colors for years to come.
