Dotson Dispatch Archive

The Dotson Dispatch was sent five times a year for 10 years begining in December of 1999. The Dispatch kept our customers, employees, suppliers, the community and stockholders updated on the exciting happenings at our company.

With each issue of the Dispatch, we included a card with two of the State quarters (one from each mint).

Our thanks go out to each of you for being partners to our success.
