To Give is to Receive

Do yourself and the Delancey Street Foundation a favor and purchase an Adesso Album for someone on your Christmas list who’s having a special event.

During the month of December, Adesso Albums will donate 10% of our profits to the Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco. Delancey Street has been providing a structured educational and living environment in which men and women, most of whom are substance abusers, former felons, and others who have hit bottom, can learn the skills they need to rebuild their lives. The program has been empowering people with the problems to become their own solution since 1971.

"I was introduced to the Delancey Street Foundation’s Crossroads Café when I moved to the South of Market area of San Francisco in 2003. Since then I’ve spent hundreds of hours there writing the Company’s business plans, newsletters like this and other marketing materials. I’ve witnessed first hand the heartwarming and inspirational progress of the people in the program that work there. We raised over $1,000 at our five year anniversary party earlier this year, and it just seems appropriate to continue the tradition during the holidays.

Adesso’s in Canada!

Picture This Albums is Adesso’s brand spankin’ new exclusive Canadian distributor partner and opened for business!

Jo-Anne Stayner, Founder of Picture This Albums, used Adesso Albums at her wedding this past summer. Like Helen Rankin, Founder of our exclusive UK distributor Instant Forever, Jo-Anne felt there was a market for Adesso Albums in her part of the world, and approached us about becoming our Canadian distributor. We were delighted and signed her up right away!

Picture This Albums (www.picturethisalbums.com) was launched earlier this month and is giving every indication of becoming an incredible success story - just like Instant Forever.

If you have friends in Canada who are looking for a fun thing to do at their next party, send ‘em the link to PictureThisAlbums right this minute!

Favors for Your Guests!

Last month Danielle Scholl gave a birthday party and was looking for favors for her guests. She decided that since she was snapping Polaroids of the guests for her Adesso Album to commemorate the event, she might as well snap twice, put the second photo into one of our absolutely STUNNING personalized magnetic frames and give it to her guests as a favor. To quote Danielle:

"Our guests loved the frames and were so excited to take their picture home with them in a personalized keepsake.These frames helped make this the best party EVER!"

We happen to agree with Danielle…we used the same frames at Adesso’s Five Year Anniversary party earlier this year and the feedback was so positive, we plan to use them again at our Holiday Party next month.
