Cranford, New Jersey, July 9, 2008 - It's time to tee off again with friends, colleagues and vendors at the Printing Industries Alliance Golf Outing, scheduled this year on Thursday, August 28 at Knoll Country Club, Parsippany, New Jersey.

The popular event, which raises funds for scholarship grants for New Jersey graphic arts students, has been held for 30 years. This is the second year in a row it has been sponsored by PIA.  Members of the Golf Committee include Chairman Irwin Levine (FLM Graphics); John Moss (Galvanic Printing), Mike Agness (Pitman Company), Kevin Cole (Pitman Company), Chris Wise (Creative Laminating), Jim Prendergast (JWP Group), Tim Freeman (PIA) and Vicki Keenan (PIA).

Your chance to golf, win prizes and help support graphic arts education starts with a huge brunch at 10:30 am; with tee off at 12:15, beverage service on the course and a great Open Bar, Cocktail Reception, and Dinner right after golf. The awards and loads of prizes are given away to the lucky raffle ticket holders. Just about everyone goes home with a prize. All this for $235 too!

Sponsorships are also available for those interested and door prizes or corporate give-away "goodies" are welcomed.

2008 Sponsors to date include the outing's long term supporters: Graytor Printing Company, Brodie Systems, and Braden Sutphin.
