One way that has happened over the years is through our personal birthday cards. Each year, ETC graphic designers generate unique, ETC-themed birthday cards for all employees. More impressive yet? ETC’s CEO Fred Foster personally signed each one for decades—and with 1,000+ employees, that’s a lot of time spent signing! Carrying on the tradition, Fred’s wife, Susan Foster, now signs the employee birthday cards. ![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png) Though we won’t sign all of your birthday cards, we’ve decided to share the ETC-themed birthday fun with printable birthday cards from our archives.

Studying English in college and tutoring writing across the curriculum fostered her passion for words and weakness for puns. When she’s not writing, she’s likely watching horror movies with her husband or plugging away at her goal of reading 50 books each year. A Wisconsin local, she loves seeing ETC products at work in Madison-area venues she has frequented throughout her life. #### You may also like [![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ETC-Dog-Day-750px.jpg)](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2020/08/etc-celebrates-national-dog-day) [ETC](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/etc) ### [ETC celebrates National Dog Day](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2020/08/etc-celebrates-national-dog-day) By [Quinn Wirth](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/quinn-buchanan) 26-Aug-2020 With much of our staff still working from home, many ETC employees find themselves working with new officemates—except these ones have four legs and a tail.
