We have finally received our new brochures, business cards and (drum-roll) our banners. Our new logo and updated design is presented on all the materials. Many thanks to all volunteers and businesses who made this possible. We would like to thank to Solomiya Shavala & Valerii Pasko for the design of brochures and banners. We also would like to express our gratitude to Susane and Robert and his business Quantum Graphics & Consulting Inc. for printing banners for UAS. Susan and Robert have adopted with UAS around 12 years ago. Also, Nick DeStefano and his business DeStefano Consulting Services sponsored printing of brochures and retractable banner! He and his wife Belinda adopted with UAS 11 years ago. What a great sense of adoption community we have here in Winnipeg!

Our new brochures are in. Many thanks to all volunteers who designed and printed brochures for UAS Eastern European Adoptions inc. Feeling very special to have so many passioned volunteers in Manitoba!
