Want to solicit journal ads from businesses,
but don’t know where to start?
Please join us for an
Ad Journal Training Workshop
& Brainstorming Session
* Families who sold ads to businesses last year will receive priority for those businesses’ renewals for the 2010/2011
journal. Businesses that did not advertise in the 2009-2010 journal may only be approached for advertising once a
family has signed up with the Development Office to contact that business. This procedure helps families, as they will
not be competing with each other for the same advertisements, and ensures that businesses will not be approached by
multiple representatives of Yeshivat Rambam.
This workshop will only be held if a minimum number of reservations have been received by
Tuesday, March 29th - RSVP: 410.358.6091, ext 208 or myersm@yrambam.org.
