The Expo is Coming!

Hi JANES!
Hooray! We have our expo date! We will be exploding with pink in the atrium on Sept. 30th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. I am excited! Of course, we have lots to do to prepare. Every bevy/hometeam will have their own table. You are responsible for the following.
- decorating your table ~ We really want to get the ladies excited so go all out. See the attached photos from our 2006 expo for some ideas.
- posting your information ~ At your table you need something large (ex: science board) with the name of your bevy, when and where it meets, and a decription of your bevy. You will also need something with that same information that each lady that signs up for your bevy can take with her. (ex: flyer, business card, magnet, postcard). You'll need 150 to 200 of these.
- door prize ~ We will be giving door prizes throughout the expo so each bevy will provide a door prize (ex: candles, journals). You can ask your group to pitch in for the cost.
We will have a work night to prepare for the expo on Sept. 24th from 6:00 to 8:00 in the Red Dot Room. PLEASE plan to attend! If you have not completed a JANES covenant, a background check since we moved into the new building and met with one of the JANES leaders (DeeDee, Alisa, April & Janel), you will not be able to have a table at the expo. You can complete all of these at our work night meeting on the 24th.
Our JANES blog is linked to the BAF website now!! We want everyone who visits to be able to learn about each available bevy, so we have created a link on the B-Team page (BAF JANES Bevy List) that has info about each one. I will be responsible for this page. All you need to do is let me know your info (ie. date of your first/next meeting, days you meet, time, email address, etc..) This way you don't have to be responsible for a blog unless you want to be. Please share your personal blogs with your group.
I am so glad you're a part of JANES! I am excited to be your coordinator. Please if you have any questions or concerns email me (
april.atkinson@yahoo.com).
