For the comfort and convenience of your staff we will offer meal service. Our meals are convenient, affordable, and delicious. We will hand deliver the meals to your staff.  We will be distributing a program to participants that will provide your organization an opportunity to advertise your services free of charge. The Money Power Day 2009 Program is given to each individual attending the event. It will contain welcome letters from Congressmen, Cummings & Sarbanes, Mayor Dixon, a map, event schedule, and other information to help participants navigate the event. This year some areas are being reserved for your organizations advertisements.
