	Office Coordinator/Inside Sales Teresa Lemke 360-659-1300 Ext. 2050	Teresa, known to most as Teri, is the office coordinator and inside sales representative for The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times. I've been with the papers since 2005. Just recently I have been given the opportunity to try my hand at inside sales. Along with classifieds and display advertising I also have the responsibility of announcements, obituaries, and legals. I've been told I am the "go to gal" when anyone has questions about the paper. I know just enough of most pieces of the paper to help whomever is requesting assistance and I'm not afraid to ask others if I don't. Working here has been a delight. I look forward to many more years.
	Art Director Bill Garza 360-659-1300 Ext. 4050	Ola! I just joined the staff after going on hiatus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I left to study hispanic art and culture (and practice my mediocre spanish). My experience comes mostly from running my own business as a freelance graphic designer designing everything from t-shirts to business cards. I graduated from Snohomish High School in 1977, served with the 82d Airborne Division in Ft. Bragg, NC., and several years later received my degree from the Art Institute of Seattle in 1989. Any extra time is spent on my art, family, friends and on local golf courses, gracias for su tiempo!
