Celebrating the 50TH Anniversary of Aurora Fastprint

Text in the Record

Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Aurora Fastprint as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking half a century as a family-owned staple of the Aurora community. Founded in 1976 by Tom Bartlett, Aurora Fastprint has provided high- quality, full-service printing services to businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, municipalities, and residents throughout the Fox River Valley. Whether showcasing the work of a local poet in its storefront windows during Poetry Month or sponsoring a holiday food drive for the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry, Aurora Fastprint has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the community. Its storefront in Aurora's historic downtown district has become home to a notable and respected local business. Over the last 50 years, Aurora Fastprint has demonstrated remarkable resilience and innovation. As technology and the needs of the community have evolved, Aurora Fastprint has adapted and evolved too. By expanding beyond traditional printing services to offer graphic design, digital printing, and Every Door Direct Mail service, the company has adapted to the changing needs of its clients. Now, in its second generation of ownership under Bartlett's daughter Kim Woodin, Aurora Fastprint has grown alongside and supported the community it serves. Mr. Speaker, I am proud that Aurora Fastprint calls my district home. Its remarkable 50-year history is a testament to the company's enduring commitment to service, reliability, innovation, and the Aurora community. I am confident that Aurora Fastprint will continue to thrive for generations to come.
