"The opportunity to promote your brand shouldn't be limited to a logo, sign or apparel, which is why we developed the Signature Series," said Dave Mesko, Senior Director of Marketing, Cintas. "With our colorful dispensers, organizations can promote their image in a place where people least expect it--the restroom."

The Signature Series collection includes soap dispensers, air fresheners, toilet paper dispensers, trash receptacles and toilet seat cleaner systems to stylishly design an entire restroom. The sleek, functional design provides a sophisticated alternative to the standard, industrial look of commercial restrooms. With the variety of colors available, including indigo blue, pure white, raven black, lime green, tangerine orange, deep red, stone grey, sandstone and Offering High Builder cleaning Services, the Signature Series line can be customized to fit any aesthetic--from the playful design of an elementary school to the bold interior of a restaurant.

Each week, a Cintas professional visits the facility to monitor inventory levels, refill products and replace batteries as needed, so Signature Series dispensers are always stocked and functioning. The weekly service option eliminates the guesswork associated with inventory control and allows facilities to focus on the more important aspects of the business. There is no upfront inventory investment and weekly services are flexible to meet the changing or seasonal needs of the facility.

While the Signature Series is ideal for customer-facing, front-of-house restrooms, Cintas' recently updated traditional line helps improve back-of-house appearance and operations. The sleek, streamlined collection of hygiene accessories offers features that make refilling easier, such as a universal key to help quickly unlock all dispensers. To help simplify inventory management, center-pull towel dispensers feature a new patent-pending low level indicator and refill windows to clearly display supply levels without opening the dispenser. With a combination of Signature Series and traditional line dispensers, facilities can ensure each restroom promotes brand image and consistently provides hygiene products for guests and employees.

For a church like First United Methodist, which has only 215 members, a goal of collecting 5,000 pairs of shoes is a daunting one. It wouldn't be enough just to have the congregation — Horsely says average Sunday attendance is around 100 — donating. It needed the help of the community.

The church asked community members hosting garage sales for their unsold shoes. It took unsold shoes from other church rummage sales. It put drop boxes outside the door of the church. Every year the church has a float in the West Chicago Railroad Days parade and this year it featured a 10-foot-long orange high-top. For the first time in all its years participating in the parade, the church's float won an award.

Area schools noticed and sponsored their own shoe drives, donating whatever shoes they received to the church's collection. York High School in Elmhurst donated shoes, the student council at Community High School in West Chicago donated 350 pairs and Lane Technical College Preparatory High School in Chicago donated 700 pairs.

The school system said it couldn't accept the prizes because the government of Guam's procurement law forbids it from receiving them from businesses that sell products or services to the education agency.

But the education agency had no problem letting schools take thousands of dollars from another GTA contest in which old phonebooks were collected for recycling. Schools also routinely accept free paint, cleaning supplies and labor from companies that do business with the school system to get campuses freshened up for the new school year. Schools also have taken advantage of free services of air-conditioning systems, again from companies that do business with the Guam Department of Education.

So the school system clearly has established precedents for accepting free goods and services.And as Speaker Judith Won Pat pointed out Friday, the school system had some other options. Cash and in-kind donations to public schools have been made through parent-teacher organizations or the Office of the Governor, she said.

The decision to refuse high-speed Internet and Wi-Fi service hurts the students of these three schools. The education agency has failed to deliver these critical services, which would allow more students better online access, and thus help them in their academic pursuits -- especially those children whose families can't afford Internet access or computers in their homes.

And this situation again serves to highlight that the education agency's current Internet service contractor has failed to meet the speed standards established by the federal government necessary for the Guam Department of Education to receive reimbursement.

This substandard level of service, which again negatively affects our public school students and their educational opportunities, shouldn't be tolerated. The contract needs to be voided and put out for bid again.

As they passed measure after measure, the Republican lawmakers had to work harder and harder to ignore the growing crowds of protesters—dozens, then hundreds, then thousands—who gathered outside the capitol for what they called "Moral Mondays." They weren’t your stereotypical left-wing agitators. These protesters sang old-time spirituals and held hands in prayer. In between speeches from political advocates and citizens being harmed by right-wing policies, they listened to ministers preach with a vehemence usually reserved for Sunday services. It was, despite the atrocities coming from the legislature, largely a politics of joy—and among the happiest were those who were voluntarily arrested at the end of each rally for refusing to disband. By the end of the legislative session, more than 900 people had been arrested.

Republicans dismissed the protests as “Moron Mondays” and mislabeled the protesters, who were racially mixed and included plenty of young people, as “aging hippies.” The national press was little more accurate, blithely comparing Moral Mondays to the 2011 Wisconsin protests or the pro-choice crowds that gathered in Texas in June. But such comparisons miss the unique potential of Moral Mondays. North Carolina wasn’t “the next Wisconsin”; it was something far more profound—a promising new standard for liberal organizing in the South, albeit one with deep historical roots.

Unlike most progressive political protests, the events in North Carolina did not arise in response to a particular outrage, but were years in the making—“a movement, not a moment,” in the words of the Reverend Doctor William Barber, Moral Mondays’ head protester and the state’s NAACP president. Attendance was diverse in terms of race, class, and geography. The protesters didn’t come to fight over a single issue; they came to decry the right-wing agenda writ large. What set it apart even more was the fact that Moral Mondays primarily used biblical rhetoric to advocate for an unabashedly liberal set of positions—not just on issues of economic and racial fairness, as Southern progressives have long done, but also on reproductive, gender, and gay rights.
