Nothing is as simple and gratifying as purchasing a new book. The cover of a new book is always smooth and shiny; the pages lay flat and crisp. The chemical makeup of a book releases a mild odor of paper, ink, and glue as the pages flip from one to the next. The rewarding action of turning the page reveals a new sequence of words drawing its reader closer to the climax. Once the end is reached, the book can be neatly displayed on a bookshelf and referenced in future discussions. Times have changed in the book industry over the last decade due to advancements in technology. Authors and readers are no longer restricted to bookstores and libraries, instead they can choose from multiple facets of electronic devices as well as a variety of different media outlets. Even though the physical element of turning the page may be gratifying and familiar, the convenience of simply clicking a button for instant access to unlimited resources online may turn reading a bound book into an old habit. If you are an avid reader, writer, editor, or publisher, Book Expo America, located at the Javits Center in New York City is the place to be, come May 30th-June 1st.

The stage was set and the camera was rolling at Studio 120 for Matt Clark, a banker with US Bank, Twin Cities. Clark is creating a fundraising video for Leukemia patients. Clark became a supporter for people diagnosed with Leukemia when three years ago he learned his friend and classmate, Mark Thurbush, was diagnosed with lymphoma, a blood cancer. The first time Clark got word about his friend, he was sitting in class at Carlson School of Management where he was attending to earn his MBA. His reflection of this day still brings tears to his eyes. “We’re all sitting there waiting for class to start complaining about homework and kids and how to find balance and Mark walks in and says, ‘I have cancer.” In the years that followed, Clark not only stood by his friend while he battled his disease, together the two raised $30,000 to support research and awareness of Leukemia and lymphoma – a feat that helped earned Clark a coveted spot in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 2013 Man/Woman of the Year competition. Man & Woman of the Year is a fun and unique ten-week fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Candidates are nominated to use their leadership skills to conduct individual fundraising campaigns. Every dollar raised counts as one vote. The candidates with the most votes at the end of the 10 weeks are named the Man & Woman of the Year.
