Thousand Oaks - Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce
Business Expo Trade Show - September 5, 2002

This was a terrific opportunity to gain visibility for our club with little time commitment and reasonable cost. The Expo was a table-top display type of show that ran from 5:00pm - 8:00pm on Thursday, September 5th. The Thousand Oaks Chamber of Commerce held this event at the Hyatt Westlake Plaza Hotel There were over 70 display booths, terrific food samples from BJ's, Le Rendez-Vous, Champagne French Bakery, Warner Center Marriott, and the Hyatt. KHAY 100.7FM & B95.. This was not only a time to show off what Zonta has to offer, but was also a great time to network with the other Chamber member businesses!

This year we created our table top display by purchasing re-usable presentation panels and designing our own graphics that highlighted our Service Projects, our Olde English Tea fund-aising event and our Scholarship programs. We set up a computer monitor to play a video from the 2002 Special Kids Day Event and photos from the Olde English Tea. We also had a raffle for one ticket to attend the Tea. Copies of our June Newsletter, Bookmarks with the Zonta colet, Zonta Business Cards, and a book explaining our various projects were also on display.The biggest draw to our table were bottles of water with the club's 30th anniversary logo and name. Thank goodness for hot summer days.

We had a great turnout of members who circulated throughout the fair and talked to many of the other attendees and guests. A great big Thank You to the Members who attended:
