Donna Reid - Business/Accounting – Chief Financial Officer (Mary Hartline)

I have been in the advertising business for 25 years; all of these years working for Neal. There have been many changes in advertising over the years and I am happy to have been here to see them. I love the people I work with, they make me laugh everyday and make this a fun place to be.

I am married to an incredibly handsome man who can cook; a good thing since I can’t. I also have two exceptional children and three handsome grandsons. I love watching my grandsons play hockey at 6am at a freezing rink and, playing baseball in the pouring rain.

Alexis Pacelli – Graphic Design – Graphic Designer (The Fortune Teller)

I am a designer and I have been one my whole life. When I was born on saw sunlight for the first time in the form of crystalline rainbows full of possibilities. My favorite colors to paint with are a large pallet of transparencies. I name my many pieces of artwork things like, “The full span of dying reeds on a platter” and “Fallen Dingo on a elderly woman’s porch on a Friday”. When I’m tired of being incredibly talented I am saving the earth in its entirety and eating a fine display of pescatrian foods. I have corduroy pants. I have vegetables growing from recycled filing cabinets on my patio. I have a drive for life that can only bee seen through a pair of used 3D glasses. And most importantly…I have a sense of humor.

I write about my opinions about horror movies. Check it out at http://horror83.blogspot.com/
