  • Greater Reading: a Call to Action
    GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

  • Annual Report Fiscal Year 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2020 July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 utztown University has long been recognized as a place where students receive a K high-quality, affordable education. KU students take what they’ve learned here and go on to become educators, entrepreneurs, artists, community leaders, and more. However, now more than ever, the affordability of higher education is in question for many, and private philanthropy is essential to helping today’s students cross the academic finish line. KU students have the drive, grit, and determination to succeed – but many lack the resources. The Kutztown University Foundation works tirelessly to raise funds to support KU students and make higher education accessible to those who seek it. We are grateful to the alumni, parents, and friends who give of their time, talent, and treasure to support our efforts. Your contributions are literally life-changing for today’s Golden Bears pursuing their degrees. As you will soon learn, the Foundation had another historic year, raising more than $8 million and providing nearly $1,400,000 in scholarships and financial aid to KU students during the 2019 – 2020 academic year, all while continuing to engage with more alumni than ever before. Thank you for joining us in our commitment to further Kutztown University’s mission to prepare students to meet lifelong intellectual, ethical, social, and career challenges. Your generosity fuels our success, and for that we are grateful. Thank you for your continued support. It’s Good to be Golden! Robert C. Landis President Kutztown University Foundation Board of Directors Two state-of-art science facilities were dedicated on campus: the Fred and Martha Hafer ’02 Scanning Electron Microscope Laboratory and the CR Chambliss Astronomical Observatory.

  • First Sale“ Rule, Resulting in the Assessment of Significantly Higher Duties on U.S
    February 11, 2008 The Hon. Michael Chertoff Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Chertoff: The undersigned companies and associations strongly object to a recent proposal by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that ignores significant judicial precedent, suddenly seeks to overturn almost two decades of agency practice, and, if allowed to be implemented, would amount to a hidden tax on U.S. consumers. In a January 24 Federal Register notice, CBP proposed a new interpretation that will dramatically alter the way in which the transaction value of imported articles is calculated. This revised interpretation would overturn the so-called —first sale“ rule, resulting in the assessment of significantly higher duties on U.S. imports, leading to higher prices for U.S. consumers. In justifying this action, CBP is relying upon a non-binding commentary issued by the Brussels- based World Customs Organization‘s (WCO) Technical Committee on Customs Valuation to toss out 20 years of legal precedent and Administrative practice that have been consistently reaffirmed by U.S. courts and by CBP itself. This proposal is not only flawed and highly objectionable, but also is particularly disturbing with regard to the timing, process and manner that CBP employed to publish its position. The Administration and Congress have just completed work on an economic stimulus package that will promote more consumer spending, yet CBP is proposing a move that would undercut essential goals of that package. Moreover, while government and business have collaborated as partners to protect our ports and boost our economy, the decision to put forward such a significant change in practice without consultation with the U.S.

  • Vf Corporation (Vfc)
    St. James Investment Company Updated: 15-December-16 V.F. C ORP ORATION (VFC) COMPANY DESCRIPTION VF Corp. operates as an apparel company which engages in the manufacture of fashion clothes, footwear, and other related products. VF’s brands include Jansport, Kipling, Lee, Lucy, Majestic, Nautica, Reef, The North Face, Timberland, Vans, Wrangler, Lee, Rock & Republic, Bulwark, Horace Small, Red Kap, and Wrangler Workwear. The company was founded in 1899 and is headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. INVESTMENT THESIS VF has established a broad and growing array of leading lifestyle brands, selected to enhance its presence in high-growth categories and for synergies within existing operating units. We think the company can take advantage of three market trends: 1) The outdoor and action sports market is a large and quickly growing opportunity, with active wear apparel now often worn in place of casual attire--represents a $46 billion opportunity with a focus on higher-margin performance and comfort products. The North Face line is already a leader in the $25 billion global outdoor market and provides high-performance sports apparel, an increasingly popular category thanks to the fitness craze. Management expects this category to be a key growth driver for VF and that further acquisitions will be made to increase exposure. Management states that it could grow organically to over 65% of revenue from the current 60% penetration over the next five years. 2) VF leverages its large global supply chain to support additional international sales. Management believes that international markets can grow from 30% of revenue to 45% of sales in five years.
