RE: MCM - Digest V1 #291
I am working on the brochure this week-it is done, ready to be put into
brochure form and mailed and emailed next week. Does anyone have the
information on events listings in other magazines besides TAG and PAM? I am
not familiar with fish type magazines-who can check on getting our event
listed in them? Should I put it in some of the plant magazines (pond
magazines?)-we have to make it clear this isn't about pond type stuff at all
in our ads. There is usually a 3 or 4 month lead time to send into a
calendar of events if the magazines have one. Charlene
