Show SPRINGVILLE HERALD Wendy Magrath named Art Museum Volunteer of Month f Thursday, August 28, 2008 Longtime Mapleton resi- dent Wendy Magrath has been named the Springville Museum of Art Volunteer of the Month for August. Magrath is one of those priceless people who has served with the Hafen-Dallin Hafen-Dallin Guild volunteers for many years. She has held a number of positions over the past 15 years, including in-cluding but not limited to, Hafen-Dallin Guild Board president and member for six years, event volunteer and, most recently, the Children's Art Festival Volunteer Vol-unteer Coordinator for Art City Days. All these different volunteer vol-unteer positions are just a sample of the opportunities to serve at the SMA. Magrath's relationship with the Springville Museum Mu-seum of Art started when she mentioned to a friend that she had wanted to volunteer there but didn't know much about art. Her friend invited her to come to a brunch at the museum and, as they say, the rest is history! Before too long, Magrath found herself with as much volunteer opportunity as she wanted and even plenty plen-ty for the rest of her fam-ilv. fam-ilv. Her eldest daughter, Jessica, is a charter member mem-ber of the Junior Art Guild. Her son worked on maintenance main-tenance and expansion projects at the museum between college and law , school. And Magrath has helped with many events, right down to working on the catering by making and filling crepes for a show opening. But volunteering at Springville Museum isn't all work. There have been plenty of opportunities for fun, too. Magrath and her family have attended many an Art Ball. And her daughter daugh-ter has been a member of the Art Royalty. Their favorite experience has been traveling with the Hafen-Dallin Guild to many wonderful areas of the world. She and her family have traveled to Washington, Washing-ton, DC, Italy and Russia with the guild and have loved every minute of it. Magrath says her favorite trip was Italy, but Russia was a close second, as she would never have gone on her own and the museum staff made it a memorable and exciting trip. Magrath says that the best part of volunteering at the museum isn't the art, it's the people. She still feels she doesn't know all that much about art, but her volunteer experience has enhanced her appreciation for many types of artwork. Early on she discovered John Hafen's "Hollyhocks." She loved it so much that she bought a print at auction auc-tion which now hangs in her home. She loves the camaraderie camara-derie and friendly family feel of the museum and the volunteers in general "It is so welcoming and the staff and volunteers are so fabulous fabu-lous to work with, that soon you forget worrying about whether or not you fit in. Everyone is so accepting and nice there," she said. Recently, Magrath was able to visit the museum's annual Quilt Show. She is planning on bringing a class there in a week or so, and said this is one of her favorite shows each year. It inspired her to make a quilt for her soon-to-be first grandchild. Considering the busy year she has had, including moving at least two of her extended families across the county from Florida to Nevada, it is amazing she has found the time to quilt or volunteer. That's another anoth-er great thing about volunteering volun-teering with the SMA, according ac-cording to Magrath. "You can do as much or as little "(' 111111 " iiiiiiii.jiiiuuii.iiii.li . ii.ii,iMimiiiji.iiiiii.nwi f -If I i The opening for the Clyde Exhibition took place at the Springville Museum of Art Aug. 20th. Friends, family and the public gathered to celebrate the 90th year of Mrs. Louise Clyde, and the generous contributions the Clyde Family has made to the museum over the years. A beautiful display of art work donated by the family was enjoyed by attendees. The wroks will be on exhibit at the museum through Mar. 22, 2009. Wendy Magrath as you are able," she said. Some years she' has been available for nearly everything, every-thing, and other years she has cut back, depending on her family situation at the time, and she is always welcomed wel-comed back whenever she can offer her help. Magrath would love to leave a legacy to the Springville Museum of Art, and is, in fact, working toward to-ward that goal. She'd love to do it in her lifetime. She says that the experience volunteering with the SMA helped Her to overcome her fears and intimidation. Working there helped her find out how much she is needed and appreciated. She recommends it for anyone who is looking for something interesting, with fascinating and delightful companions to share it. If you like meeting great people and having new experiences, ex-periences, Magrath says, "Don't be intimidated, just come in and see what you can do." The Hafen-Dallin Guild holds luncheons and brunches several times a year to honor their past and present volunteers and to encourage others to join in. The Fall Luncheon for 2008 will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 11:30 a.m. Anyone Any-one interested in volunteering volunteer-ing is welcome to attend. ; Namifiers Continued from page 1 At the helm for Namifi-ers Namifi-ers is CEO Founder Bryan Welton Jr. Welton, age 31, started the business out of his home in 2001, providing custom engraved plaques, tags and gifts to clients along the Wasatch front. He was passionate about the potential of e-commerce, and this spurred on his pioneering pio-neering efforts to take personalized per-sonalized products to the Internet. The resulting interest was astounding, and Welton took the entrepreneurial plunge and invested everything every-thing he had (on multiple occasions) oc-casions) to expand their operations op-erations and optimize their efficiency. Today, Namif iers completely overshadows its microscopic beginnings, working with thousands of tons of plastic, metal, vinyl and textiles each year. One signature element to the Namifiers model is their tenacious "same-day production" mentality for in-house services of digital printing, screen printing, engraving, embroidery and other forms of custom f ab-ricatioa ab-ricatioa "When we started Namifiers Nami-fiers seven years ago, competitors com-petitors held no value for same-day service, consider ing it a moot point to bust your tail in' behalf of the customer, especially since status quo said that speed wasn't the customers 1 priority," pri-ority," said Welton. "To us, speed isn't just about putting put-ting in extra hours at work; it's an attitude of over-performing for your clients." Headquarters for Namifiers Nami-fiers is an 80,000 square foot facility located in north Springville. Their clientele ranges from small groups to some of the largest corporations cor-porations in the world. They are joined on this year's Inc 5000 list by 82 other companies compa-nies from Utah. Other similar honors for Namifiers include its selection selec-tion to the Utah Business Fast 50, the UV50 Fastest Growing Companies in Utah Valley and the Mountain West Capital Network Utah 100 List. iLjl Ikt Haul IUU HEATING a AIR CONDITIONING Service Grsan Stickar Fswtcrig OAC ismm fj(o)n H : J li : f t J ,4v;l--. i I 1 Bt)L mm www.heraldextra.com in ' I I ' I t illlihl'rJllKHlllil'Hsitllil This year's publication promises to be bigger than ever!
