Why not sponsor an after hours? 
Businesses looking to get the word out about a new service or product or increasing visibility should be a sponsor at this fun event or another upcoming BAH. For a low investment, you are promoted in the e-mails and press releases prior to the event, the night of the BAH you will have a table for display and five admission passes (a $35 value), be able to interact with the attendees and have microphone time at the event. Call Lisa Hoyt at 347-4150 to reserve your spot today.
