Calling all vendors...

Wow time has flown and AVLIC 2012 is just around the corner.  What is even closer is our deadline to be a vendor at our marketplace.  We have some unique vendors that have already signed up and would love to have even more.  If you have a company or product that you would like to promote, please check us out at the AVLIC 2012 website.  You can register online to be part of our fabulous Marketplace.  If you have any questions, feel free to give me a shout at dlauinger@avlic2012.com.&nbsp

Dear Colleagues:

AVLIC 2012 is just around the corner and as you know, a significant event at the conference has always been the AVLIC Auction.  Our goal is to raise the most money we have every raised at an auction, and you can help us do that.  We have several options that fit every budget, style, and talent!

Dear Colleague –

If you are coming to the AVLIC 2012 conference in Calgary, Alberta, please consider volunteering 1 hour of your time at the marketplace.  This is an excellent opportunity for you to meet members of both the Deaf and Interpreting communities, and to get your face and skills out there!!!

Please contact the Public Relations Committee at pr@avlic2012.com

Thanks!
