Southern Aluminum's Optional Table Finishes
In addition to the many benefits of Southern Aluminum's lightweight, durable aluminum tables are the optional Antimicrobial and Anti-Graffiti coatings. These coatings are formulated into the powder coat finish Southern Aluminum applies to its ALulite tables, MardiGras Tables, and Southern PikNik tables. The Antimicrobial coating inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi and algae, which leads to odors, discoloration and the formation of mildew. Adding the Antimicrobial coating to tables being used in high-traffic areas protects users against such microbes – promoting proper hygiene and cleanliness. Southern Aluminum's Anti-Graffiti coating allows tables to be easily cleaned without causing damage to the finish. As always, Southern Aluminum's tables are perfect for indoor and outdoor use, and do not require additional UV protection.

Lifetouch Online Photography Scheduling Tool  
Lifetouch Church Directories and Portraits is known for high-quality church pictorial directories and professional family portraiture. As part of their service, Lifetouch will set up a state-of-the-art portrait studio right in the church to photograph the church's families. In the past, the process required families to schedule their portrait session during sign up days at the church. This meant waiting in line at church and often guessing what date and time might work for the family because the family calendar was at home. Lifetouch has changed the face of photography sign-ups by offering a free online photography scheduling tool. Now members can schedule their photography appointment right from their own computer at their convenience. Members can view available appointment dates and times, schedule their portrait session and make changes if necessary. Members receive a confirmation e-mail right away and then a reminder e-mail a few days prior to their session. More members will schedule portrait sessions, making the church's pictorial directory more complete, and the church will need fewer program volunteers.
