AALAS Honoring Techs

AALAS is offering the lab animal science community a variety of materials and ideas to use for promoting and celebrating the 2007 Tech Week.  All are available on a special Tech Week order form located in the “Bookstore” section of the AALAS website (www.aalas.org).  The 2007 AALAS Tech Week materials include:

 

New! “Essential” poster (11" x 17")

With colorful photos of technicians and lab animals, everyone is sure to understand how “essential” lab animal techs are to the research process. Display the eye-catching posters throughout your facility and in public areas to promote the 2007 Tech Week event. A Spanish version (8-1/2” x 11”) is downloadable from www.aalas.org.

New! “Essential” lapel buttons

These bright, eye-catching 2” buttons display this year’s Tech Week logo and can easily be read from a distance. Technicians wearing these will proudly make a statement to those around them about the quality of care they provide for animals every day. Give one to each technician on your staff!

New! “Essential” silicone bracelets

Everyone needs one of these! These 1/2” wide silicone bracelets are engraved with the 2007 Tech Week theme on one side and the AALAS web site address on the other. These are perfect gifts for Tech Week or any other time of the year. (color: AALAS green) One size fits most. Quantities limited.

New! “Essential” retractable access card holders

These tools are needed in most animal facilities to keep access cards, keys, or other small tools ready for quick access. The holders feature a bulldog clip that attaches to your clothing, a 29” retractable cord, and a standard ½” vinyl snap strap to securely hold the access card. To ensure the safety of your facility should the holder become lost, they have no reference to animals or to AALAS, but rather display an important message for lab animal technicians. These make great gifts for everyone on staff! (color: black)

New! “Essential” dry erase boards

These flexible dry erase boards will be the perfect addition to animal rooms, lockers, staff lounges, and other locations throughout the facility.  Each 8” x 10” board has magnets and double-sided tape on the back for mounting and comes with a pen.  Quantities limited.

Updated! CTAD computer monitor calendar strips

“Quality Animal Care Equals Quality Science” note cards

Each card in this set of four contains a colorful image of a common laboratory animal (mouse, rabbit, pig, and dog), positive messages about the benefits of animal research to society, and medical breakthroughs specific to each of the animal species. The back of each card provides information on how the “quality care” lab animal technicians provide for their animals produces “quality science” that benefits all of us and how AALAS recognizes techs for their essential contributions to the overall research process with an annual dedication, Tech Week. The cards, which are appropriate for any occasion such as birthdays, thank-yous, and get well greetings, are the perfect way to educate the public about the use of animals in biomedical research. The 3-7/8” x 5” note cards are blank inside for personal customization, come with envelopes, and are bound as a set. Perfect for framing, too! Proceeds go to the AALAS Foundation!
