Football season is here and excitement is building with many events around campus to celebrate.

The FSU Alumni Association will be hosting a series of Open House events each Friday evening before home games at the Pearl Tyner house at 1031 West Tennessee Street.

Each event will have a unique party theme complete with food, live music and an abundance of Seminole Spirit.

Full Press will be sponsoring these events and will also be privileged to print FSU branded apparel for Alumni staff. Tracey Shrine, Full Press owner commented, “Danny and I are so honored to be a part of the Alumni Association’s energetic plans for alumni and fans. We hope to share our excitement with old and new friends!”

Let the games begin!

Full Press Apparel is now an authorized manufacturer and printer of apparel bearing the Florida State University trademark.

Through a lengthy application process the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) located in Atlanta Georgia recently announced their approval and granted a license to Full Press Apparel.

One of the top sports licensing firms in the country, CLC manages all of FSU’s brand development and merchandising.

“We are excited and proud to be awarded the privilege of partnering with FSU in their brand merchandising efforts,” Tracey Shrine, owner of Full Press explained. “We will work diligently with CLC, to comply with their strict standards of excellence.”

“This opens a world of opportunities for our clients and our staff, “ Danny Shrine, owner and partner to Tracey commented. “We are loyal fans of all of FSU’s sports and programs and therefore excited about helping students express their zeal for their teams through licensed apparel.”

The FPA staff voiced their enthusiasm succinctly when the news was announced, “Go Noles!”

Fitness is a big deal here at Full Press.

Florida’s governor, Charlie Crist, launched a program in 2007 named, The Governor’s Fitness Challenge. The program was based on recommendations from the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness for elementery and middle schools through out the state of Florida.

Since its inception more than 245,000 students in over 500 elementary and middle schools have participated. Schools have the chance to win rewards and recognition. In 2009 eight schools won $5,000 each and seven schools won $2,500 each.

Each year Full Press has been asked to print T-shirts which are distributed to the winners as added recognition. This year was no exception as we printed 1500 shirts for the organizers of the Fitness Challenge.

Recently we received a glowing review from the Executive Assistant to the President and Office Manager of Florida’s Foundation, Frances Rhodes. She wrote, “We wouldn’t trust our tee shirt needs to anyone else!!”

Thank you, Frances for that vote of confidence as all of us at Full Press look forward to promoting fitness with you!

The mission of the nonprofit organization, Florida’s Foundation is to strengthen Florida by making positive changes in the lives of Florida’s families through initiatives developed under the leadership of the State of Florida and its citizens.
