The Winter 2010 issue of the Museum’s quarterly newsletter, The Wayzgoose Gazette, has just been printed. You can download a PDF of the Wayzgoose Gazette and enjoy the latest happenings at the International Printing Museum in advance of receiving it by mail.

This issue marks a new design for the newsletter, donated by our Friend and docent, Gina Simpson Pirtle. Gina has amazing graphic design skills with the ability to weave period design and flavor into a modern application. Besides redesigning the Wayzgoose Gazette, she also designed our new logo. Her efforts are helping to improve the look of the International Printing Museum. Thanks Gina!

A special thanks to Bill Rivera of MMI, Inc., for his donation of the mailing services for the Museum and Nancy DeDiemar of Printing Resources, Upland, for donating the printing of the newsletter.
