We have a few tables to use but please let me know what your needs are so I can make sure we have enough to go around. Please bring in a chair.

Please also bring your business cards, promotional cards to pass out and any information you may want to share. Feel free to bring other things you may want to sell. Please send me a JPEG so I can share an example of your work in the PR. I will start a Facebook page as well. Thank you.'
