Top Of PageTo the Editor: Creative Thanks
The Art Directors Club of New Jersey (ADCNJ) applauds your editorial
decision to focus on “Creativity at Work” as the cover story for your
January 2 issue.
We are particularly delighted to see that this issue included
highlights from two speakers who made presentations at the fourth
annual “Thinking Creatively” conference, which received coverage by
two of your talented reporters, Bart Jackson and Karen Hodges Miller.
Organized by the Design Center at Kean University of New Jersey and
the ADCNJ, this conference features dozens of presentations that
promote and celebrate the value of creative thinking in the workplace
and beyond.
We extend an invitation for U.S. 1 readers to be part of the fifth
annual “Thinking Creatively conference, which will be held on Friday
and Saturday, April 4 and 5, at Kean University in Union. Information
about this year’s speakers, topics, and registration details will soon
be posted at our website (www.adcnj.org), or contact the ADCNJ office

Again, thank you for providing interested reading on creativity in the
workplace.

Top Of PageUncluttered Minds
In response to Richard K. Rein’s column on the never-ending battle
with clutter (U.S. 1, January 9, I wanted to bring a valuable website
to your readers’ attention. The site (www.Cataloguechoice.org) is a
collaboration of the Overbrook Foundation, the National Wildlife
Federation, and the Merck Family Fund, among several others.
Their mission is to provide a free solution to the inundation of
unwanted catalogs that infest our mailboxes daily. Through this
collaboration, you are able to register from this single site to
delete your address from mailing lists of your choosing.
The range of companies that the site can access is exceptionally
extensive. By simply entering the data on the back of the catalog, the
site enables you to put an end to the irritating intrusions of
unwanted clutter. Most importantly it allows you to take positive
action to reduce the amount of junk mail and waste of valuable
resources.
