Hello. Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Ithaca Green Building Alliance are once again hosting the Ithaca (area) Green Buildings Open House, October 3-4. This year's event will be even bigger and better than previous years': we're adding sites and will even be featuring speakers on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Complete information is below, but first I would like to let you know that we are starting to put the brochure together for the event and we will be offering ads. If you know of any businesses who would like to be represented, please forward this information. We cannot promise space, but will make every effort to accomodate everyone. The format of the brochure will be the same as last year, so a full page is 7 1/2 (max; 7 1/4 better) x 4 1/2; a half page is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. We're doing a print run of 1000 books, which will be distributed around town and provided at each site on the tour. The inside will be all black & white, but the cover (front and back) will be color this year. We're keeping the rates the same as last year: 1/2 page: $75 full page: $150 back cover (color): 1/2 page: $150; full page: $300 We can also print a limited number of business-card-size ads, if they're vertical orientation only: $50 If you are interested in advertising, please send us your ad ASAP, preferably in pdf format. DEADLINE IS SEPT. 1 Please e-mail all ads to Apollonya Porcelli at [email protected], and copy me (send any questions to both of us as well). Thank you!
