Once again it is time for the fall end user show sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Promotional Products Association (MAPPA).  To those who have attended their comments to me have always been positive for the opportunity to see promotional items up close and personal.  Certainly there is far more than I can carry to you or you can see with almost 18 years worth of samples in my Showroom.  Come join us between 9:00 and 2:00 p.m. at the Science Museum of VA, 2500 West Broad Street on Wednesday, Sept. 30.  There is a free lunch starting at 11:30 and until the lunches run out.
 Over 60 suppliers will be represented and one thing I can tell you is we are not meeting at the Holiday Inn this year because we outgrew their exhibit space available.
  Many of you use Sanmar products and their rep will have a great display of items including 90 from the new catalogue.  Bic and Leeds will also be there.
  I started using "Daisy Dollars" several years ago as a way to help you with samples to show others back at the office.  That program will again be in effect. See me at Richmond ( call 241-1152 and I will meet you) or contact me for the Chesapeake Show, (day before at the Chesapeake Conference Center--same hours).   
  New this year is a video in the Registration Area to acquaint you to what you will see in the show.  Please take a few minutes for this orientation.  I think you will find it worthwhile.
  If any questions, call me on (804) 241-1152.  Matt D.
