– priorLIFE, a newly formed subsidiary of banner manufacturer
Britten, Inc., today announces the delivery of its first recycled
banner bags. The city of Winston-Salem, NC accepted delivery last
week of 150 banner tote bags to distribute to volunteers from the
recent Davis Cup by BNP Paribas quarterfinal between the United
States and France, hosted by the United States Tennis Association
(USTA) in Winston-Salem. The bags were created by recycling
several building wraps and banners that welcomed the team and fans
to the city on April 11-13, 2008.
“Bob Dobinski ,
President of Corporate Events I&D initiated
the idea with the Winston Salem local organizing committee and the
USTA to recycle these event banners into chic, one-of-a-kind tote
bags for the event volunteers,” said Pam Klumpp, director,
priorLIFE. “The banner bags not only give people a chance to carry a
piece of that event with them, they give companies and organizations
the opportunity to be environmentally friendly.”

volunteers included drivers, greeters, hospitality workers, ball

coordinators, office support staff, community artists and
entertainment personnel.
“The week was special due to the energy and enthusiasm of the volunteers,” said David Cup volunteer co-director Doug Roberts, “Commemorating their experience with this special bag while knowing we weren’t contributing to the landfills was a smart solution.”
