If you didn’t attend *Noted and SF NOW April 28 and 29, please accept my apologies if this photo essay brings on an acute case of FOMO (AKA fear of missing out). Being reunited with wonderful industry friends, meeting others in person whom I’d only interacted with on Zoom, to say nothing of all that wonderful design to experience, off a screen — well, magic was definitely in the air! Stationery Trends is so proud to be the official publication of *Noted. Let’s relive it with these highlights.
Civica Management is the association management company that keeps the Greeting Card Association (GCA) ticking; here Membership and Programs Manager Kori Sulewski, left, and Executive Director Nora Weiser welcome a Louie guest to the gala April 27.

Immediate Past GCA President George White reminds GCA President Amy McAnarney that the GCA no longer stands for “George cancels affairs.”
The crowd was friendly, unrestrained and enthusiastic.
