YEARBOOK AND DIRECTORY

The 2012-2013 Chapter Yearbook & Directory is being put together now, and we plan on having it ready to distribute to members at our September 16th picnic. As with previous Yearbooks, we are accepting display advertisements. These ads help cover  the production cost, freeing funds for our programs and workshops.

 

I am sending letters this week to previous and prospective advertisers. We have not raised our rates; they are the same as the previous two years: 

Full page -- Back cover $150.  Inside cover $120.  Inner pages $100.

Half page -- Back cover $85.   Inside cover  $70.   Inner pages $60.

Quarter page -- Back cover $55.  Inside cover $40.  Inner pages $35.

Business Card -- Only inner pages $25.

 

If you are interested in having an ad in the Yearbook, and do not receive a letter in the next few days, please contact me for further information. We will need to receive payments and camera-ready ad copy no later than Wednesday, September 5. Copy should be print quality, high resolution, in a computer file such as JPG, PNG, TIF.

Thank you,

Grant Wiswell, Yearbook Editor
