Stan Gellman Graphic Design, located at 4509 Laclede Ave. in the Central West End, recently won nine awards in two design competitions. The 33rd Annual International Creativity Awards chose four Stan Gellman creations from among more than 7,500 entries for inclusion in its annual full-color hardbound book of winning entries. In addition, five of the projects the firm submitted to Graphic Design USA 2003, a prestigious competition now in its 26th year, have been awarded winning status. The winning designs were originally conceived for clients including the St. Louis RCGA, The American College, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois Foundation.

On Monday, Nov. 3, the Gateway PGA honored its top professionals and amateurs in St. Louis golf at “A Celebration of Golf,” held at Ameristar Casino’s Bottleneck Blues Bar and Theater.

Hausmann and Tucker will join Norwood’s Larry Emery as the only Gateway PGA pros competing in the 2004 PGA Club Pro Championship.
