It was a moment that brought tears to many eyes and a standing ovation from the entire crowd at last week's IPMA conference.

Each year, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association holds a 50/50 raffle, with the proceeds going to its Brahney scholarship fund. This year, after the sudden death of long-time member Lora Geionety, the group decided to donate the money to Ms. Geionety's children. This move spurred active ticket sales that surpassed the goal.

Just 10 days before the conference she had helped organize, one of the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association’s most enthusiastic supporters passed away. Lora Geionety, an active and well liked IPMA member since 1996, died on May 28 after a short illness. She had served for more than 20 years as the manager of Mail Services at American Fidelity Assurance Co. in Oklahoma City.
