We're going to have a BLAST at ABILITIES in 2008
We will be at ALL THREE FABULOUS ABILITIES EXPO'S in 2008 with FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF CARDS PER SHOW, courtesy of Abilities Expo - which will be handed out to show attendees to thank them for coming.

We're bringing our expanded booth and of course, the EXTREMELY popular PLINKO PRIZE game to New Jersey in March, California in June and Minneapolis in September.

Use your BLAST card for FREE VIP passes to the shows and if you use your card to GET IN - (that means you have it before you get to the show) - see us for a SPECIAL PRIZE.

If you're a Merchant or a Vendor, join Grand Prize Sponsor Golf XPress (www.golfxpress.com) and other fine companies who are enjoying the benefits of participating in this fun and innovative program as prize sponsors.

And of course, Yvonne (Companies A - I) and Nick (Companies (J - Z) at Abilities have some great offers on floor space and show directory ads specifically for BLAST Vendors - those spaces are limited so if you're planning on exhibiting at any of the shows please contact them today so you don't miss out on those offers.

Testimonials

Hi Kimberley,

On behalf of the entire staff here at Abilities Expo, I would like to thank you and the BLAST Affinity card program for all that you did to help support the event.

The booth was packed all day and looked OUTSTANDING. The Blast card was very well received and you did an AMAZING job.

Personally and professionally, I was very impressed by you and your determination to make this happen. Your contacts and the prizes that were donated to a great cause made it worth every minute that we spent on the phone.

I am glad to see that others saw the value in what we do and why we do it.

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to draw the name of the person that wins the golf cart in 2008. I was so happy to see that the tent went to a family that needed it most too.

I think the most enjoyable give-a-way was the WD-40 pens. What a great concept and for people in chairs, awesome! Compact, convenient and who doesn’t use WD-40 for everything?

So again, Thank You. You exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to work with you again for the 2008 shows.

Sincerely,

Veronica Gonnello
Show Manager, Abilities Expo
