JLBA Membership Drive Contest
The 2011 Membership Drive Contest began in October 2010, which terminated in a drawing for a $100. gift certificate purchased by JLBA from a member business (see results of the drawing under "events-2011 Snack 'n' Schmooze".)
It was voted at the October 2011 Snack 'n' Schmooze to hold this Membership Drive Contest again for 2012.
To recap, 2011 members who signed up a NEW member (any business which hadn't been a JLBA member for any of the previous 5 years), prior to 2012 JLBA Annual Meeting in January, got a free 2012 membership.
Each additional new member, who is signed up by any current member, will earn an entry for the current member, as well as the new member, in a drawing to be held at the November 13, 2012 Snack 'n' Schmooze. Each JLBA member who renews their membership will also have one ticket deposited for the drawing.
So... each 2012 member who joins will have at least one an entry in the drawing.
There you have it - Join or renew your membership, and then sign up a new member by August 15, 2012 for each of you to get an entry. Good luck!
The drawing will be for a $100. gift certificate to the JLBA member business of the winner's choice. The $100. gift certificate will be purchased by JLBA from the selected business, and awarded to the winning business owner.
