TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
One of the purposes of the Latino Summit is to learn about and from each other. We invite you to bring 75 of your station’s promotional materials to the Summit, so we can provide them to the participants, put them on the LPRC exhibit table and make them available to Houston community members who attend the reception on Saturday afternoon.
If you aren’t attending the Summit or you don’t feel like carrying your materials, you may ship them to reach Flo by June 12, 2012. Send them to Hyatt Regency; ATTN: Guest, Florence Hernandez-Ramos, 1200 Louisiana, Houston, TX 77022.
SHOW OF
Bring your best premiums (sweatshirt, mug, CD, reusable bag, etc) so we can use them as prizes at Summit and at the community meeting.
