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!

Weekend

Hello friends,
Musefest is THIS WEEKEND and we still need help with
reducing waste. In return for only eight hours of volunteer time, you get free
admission to the festival for the whole weekend, as well as camping.
Zero Waste volunteers at Musefest will educate event
attendees (what's compostable, what's recyclable, etc.), manage
compost-recycle-trash bins, sort recyclables, and help keep the grounds clean
and tidy.
Check out www.musefest.org for a list of this year?s stellar
performers, and other details. If you've never been to Musefest,
take a look to
see what you've been missing!
If you?re interested in helping out, email Abbie at
[email protected] (shifts listed below for reference ? all shifts currently
have openings).
Thanks and hope to
hear from you soon!

Waste Festival Alliance Team
