To All Member Organizations, Forum Hosts/Hostesses and Support Group Leaders:
Your forum, or support organization, can be represented on a banner at this year's HMA March on DC, 2005!

Rather than be a purely self promoting, we would like to see the banners support awareness, ie:
"ABC Liver Forum Supports Hepatitis C Awareness", and include your URL to your site.

Groups are responsible for ordering the banners and all costs associated with it. All funds to print the banner should come from private sources, or individual forum fundraisers. The banners are used to promote awareness, and cannot advertise commercial or pharmaceutical products.

Here is the link, to the company that produced the banner for us
h
ttp://onlinesigns.biz/orderbanner.htm   

They offer low prices and good service, and all can be ordered online.

Signs 4 Less
Route 3 Box 96
Williamstown, WV 26187

They accept credit cards and personal and business checks for banner payment.

Here is a banner from last year.
The dimensions for this banner is 3' x 8',
but feel free to order, or make them, whatever size you prefer.
