Abstract
A message board comprising cork board or other tack penetrable material fixedly mounted on a backing of heavy cardboard or other substrate, and dry-erase laminate fixedly mounted onto the cork board. The laminate generally occupies the central portion of the board and is surrounded by the cork board allowing for convenient interaction between notes written on the laminate and notes pinned to the cork board. In addition, edging or framing is fixedly secured to the edges of the cork board and backing. The message board can also include a paper pocket retained in a cavity cutout of the cork board and backing. The paper pocket resiliently and releasably retains a pad of paper, enabling the pad to be easily replaced or the paper pocket to be easily refilled.
