A promotional graphic for “Flannel Fridays” features a blue plaid background. Large white and navy blue text reads: “FLANNEL FRIDAYS — Every Friday in November.”  A box on the right says: “Windemuller will donate $5 to skilled trade programs for every person in plaid!”  Below that are two logos — one for Windemuller and another for the North Ed Foundation.
