THe sho= pping of vendors in suites...one...on one.....is WONDERFUL and the GARAGE S= ALE is lots of fun (and profitable for me this year). You can purchase all your promotional products without being a member of th= e various groups....I always say I am a memeber of NNEP works. =20 If you have additonal questions, feel free to contact me. I am not pushing= NNEP for this reason, but SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO JOIN.....and use my name as= a referral.....I can get a slight discount on my next dues. Good Luck!
