WANT TO PRINT EXPO UPDATE?
To Print Expo Update in Landscape Mode, go to "Print." Then select
"Properties." While each printer is different, there is usually a
tab that says "Layout" and there you can select "Landscape" as opposed
to Portrait (Or vertical) mode. Printing in landscape should allow you
to print the entire page (It may be about 12 pages!)
GET YOUR BUSINESS STORY IN EXPO UPDATE:
(Free)
Email
info@blackbusinessexpo.com by 5 PM Monday. We prefer to
receive your text in the body of your email as opposed to an attachment.
(Attached flyers mean we have to retype your story. If you send it
in email all we have to do is drop it in.) Send a link to
your website so we may add photos to jazz up your story! We do not
guarantee submissions. Exhibitors are given first preference.
ADVERTISE IN EXPO UPDATE (Paid)
To insure your submission, banner ads are available
like the ones you see above. Contact our office for rate
information.

Thank you so much for all you've done
Volunteers (especially those from Ms. Gwen's West L.A.
Classes), carrying, running, heavy lifting, covering stories,
buying from our exhibitors, buying tickets for others to come,
performing, coordinating, answering phones, printing, designing,
behind the scenes, hair, make up, dressing (no wardrobe
malfunctions!), suggestions, not complaining, spreading
the good word, and always, always, for your warm and welcoming
smiles. |
