[wplug-plan] "5th Annual Super Expo" at Century III mall - community opportuntiy

[Beth Lynn]

Hello,

There is an event entitled the "5th Annual Super Expo" it will be held at 
Century III mall on Saturday April 22, 2006. The event is promoted by the 
Mon Valley Providers Council.

According to the flyer...
"
_You_do_not_want_to_miss_this_event!_
You will be able to receive _FREE_ health screenings, find career and 
education opportunities, discover new housing options, learn about local 
youth activities, become familiar with computers, and talk to numerous 
service providers located throughout Southwestern PA. All of this is 
_FREE_ and in one location!
"

Oddly enough I don't see any other computer-oriented groups on said flier.

What happened next might explain things...

I called for more information. The cost of a booth will be at least 
$150.00 depending on our "annual budget." I explained that we were a 
very small unincorporated not-for-profit that might not even be able to 
afford $150.00 and that our booth would be a free educational service. 
Just the same, we'd have to come up with at least a $150.00 donation to
Mon Valley Providers Council.

IMHO $150 for the cost of the booth is a bit too pricey for the treasury 
considering that there will be no opportunity to recoup the cost of 
taking part in this event at the event itself.

Unless someone wants to help us out by making the "$150.00 tax-deductible 
contribution" to Mon Valley Providers Council on behalf of this effort, 
this opportunity may just pass us by. We have until Wednesday April 5 to 
make up our minds.

Thanks,
