Dear Community Partner,
We extend an invitation to your organization to be an exhibitor at the Award-Winning “Money Power Day” 2008.
Due to last year's success, we expect exhibitor space to fill up quickly so register quickly to reserve your space on the Money Power Day “Roadmap to Financial Success”. What's new this year is that we will offer exhibitors an option to purchase a meal package for your staff that is convenient, affordable, and delicious. We will also be distributing a program to participant's that will provide your organization an opportunity to advertise your services that will have a direct and long-term impact.
Money Power Day is a landmark opportunity for a broad set of partners to come together and provide services in an easily accessible location to working families. Money Power Day is targeted to Baltimore City and County residents and workers earning under $40,000. The goals of the event are to:
