Good Morning Greetings!Greetings!  

 

Did you wake up to a vehicle full of frost this morning? As much as we wish Jack Frost would just take a hike, it looks like he is settling back in for a long stay, I wonder if positive thoughts about sunny warm beaches will send him way.

Coffee & Dessert Sponsorship Opportunities

 

 

So what does a Dessert and Coffee Sponsor get?

 

  • The sponsor has the ability to put a small display or table tent on each lunch table with a promotional piece.
  • The sponsor will have an 8 1/2 X 11" display card placed with our Dessert and Coffee table.  They are also allowed to place some additional display materials on the Dessert table.
  • Your business will be highlighted with the Lunch Reminder notice when it is sent out, and the weekly announcements.
  • And last but not least, your sponsorship includes a '2 minute spotlight' chance to speak during the lunch itself (this may be adjusted if a guest speaker is on).

 

All this for only $50!

 

Now, where else can you get that much advertising for your event or business for only $50?
