GIRLS NIGHT OUT--May 17
Yes, I know it’s not until May 17th, but the event chairs, Tessa and Marilyn at Cottage Queen want you to be thinking about it now and how you can invite women to unleash their inner celebrity and spend a night in Hollywood. I’ve heard there will be an appearance by the Rat Pack and lots of paparazzi. There are 4 sponsorships available for $150 each. The sponsor businesses are the ONLY locations where swag bags will be sold that evening, and the Host Sponsors receive their logo on all 200 bags, posters, all advertising, including print, web and radio. As you go to buying shows find out if your Reps have samples you can obtain for the swag bags.
Questions? Call Tessa or Marilyn at 452-8878.
This year’s sponsors are Odyssey Bookshop, Twisted Mischief, Heidi’s Hair Studio and Cabled Fiber Arts. Stay tuned for more fun ways to participate as Girls Night Out Goes Hollywood.
