Some graphics volunteers to design a full page LTAP ad for the IntertrafficConference

[Terry McNinch <tlmcninc@xxxxxxx>]

Due to NLTAPA's endorsement of the first ever Intertraffic North Amercia 
Conference being held Baltimore in Sept., the Association is being 
provided a full page ad in the conference materials.
http://www.northamerica.intertraffic.com/

This is a first for NLTAPA and the LTAP Program.

Now we just need someone to whip up the ad!
We need graphics type volunteer(s) from a center(s) to take care of 
this.  2 or 3 people working together would be great.

Reply directly to me and I will connect volunteers.

Thanks,
Terry
