Those of you with poor penmanship take note. There's help out there--hey doctors are you listening?

No matter how hard I try my handwriting is awful and I know it so I have asked Domenica Corbo to help me with a special project.

I am hosting two high-end lunches tomorrow in the Board Room at Bloom Restaurant. She is going to create the place cards with the name of each guest indicating where they are to sit. A super simple job for her but adds a nice touch to the luncheon.

Domenica has been a Calligrapher for 37 years and has lived in Scottsdale since 1966. She has mastered 38 letter styles and many, many languages, including English, Italian, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic.

Dominica can help you with Invitations, Envelopes, Certificates, Ketubot, Books, Logo Designs, Menus and so much more. She has created Calligraphy for such notable companies as Tiffany & Co., Fender Guitar (Fender presented Tony Blair with a 9-11 Custom Guitar (Tony plays guitar) complete with presentation certificate drawn by Domenica to thank him for England's support of the United States), Nieman Marcus, Merv Griffin and the logo for the new Montelucia Resort (to be located where La Posada now stands).

Calligraphy is a true art form requiring tremendous concentration and focus on the smallest of details. Originally planning to be a neurosurgeon Dominica left medical school to pursue her love of Calligraphy.

It is with great pleasure that Domenica Corbo, Professional Calligrapher, will be my Special Guest this week.
