Circulator Bus Winter/Early Spring 2013 Marketing Campaign
DC Circulator is going to be launching a new campaign this Winter/Early Spring to increase ridership and exposure of the Circulator buses and brand through local business outreach.
They are looking for businesses along each of the 5 routes who are willing to place a poster in their window and distribute FREE ride coupons to patrons who walk in and ask for a FREE ride coupon.
In return for the businesses' support, each business will be identified on social media posts on both Facebook and Twitter as places to get FREE ride coupons.
The poster and coupon will be designed in line with the current interior theme of: RIDE. EXPLORE.CONNECT. Web banners matching the coupons and posters will also be displayed on the Circulator and goDCgo websites.
There will be more information coming out next week on how to participate in this marketing campaign but if you would like to participate, please email Kristen at
kbarden@adamsmorganonline.org
. Thanks.

Putting together a weekend package in Adams Morgan for a charity auction
A friend of Adams Morgan in Virginia Beach, VA is putting together a weekend package for a family or couple to experience and get to know Adams Morgan.
This package will be auctioned off at a live auction event at Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School.
The school is a
college preparatory high school striving for excellence both in academic and spiritual development. Students come primarily from the Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake areas although they typically have approximately 10 foreign exchange students per year from as far away as Korea. Bishop Sullivan currently has 425 students and provided scholarship assistance to 83 students in 2012.
Because tuition covers only 78% of the cost of educating each child,
they
hold a Grand Auction and ask our local community, and extended communities to help us make up the difference.
On March 2, 2013, Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School will hold its annual Grand Auction, "A Bishop Sullivan CHS Celebration." Sponsors and donors are acknowledged in
their
Crusader publication which is mailed to over 10,000 households. All donations are tax deductible to the extent permissible by law.
They
alre
ady have a 2night stay-package from Adam's Inn on Lanier and
are looking for donations or discounted items to round out the weekend package - whatever might make an exciting package for a weekend of fun for either a family or a couple.
T
he following items would be great:
-gift certificates to area restaurants
-tickets to area attractions & entertainment
-gift certificates for wine tasting
-any other fun ideas!

GWHCC Annual Business Expo - April 2, 2013
Can you believe that the Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's (GWHCC) 4th Annual Business Expo is just around the corner?
GWHCC would like to invite Adams Morgan businesses to join them again at the Business Expo on April 2, 2013.
www.gwhcc.org
The Adams Morgan Partnership BID sponsored two booths that were shared by 5 businesses at last year's EXPO (the 6th business was not able to go at the last minute) and showcased their businesses and built connections with participating government agencies, corporations, embassies, non-profits, small businesses, and individuals in the local Hispanic business community. This year GWHCC is anticipating over 1,300 attendees and 110 exhibitors.
Spaces are filling up fast so we would like to know by January 31st if you would like to participate again this year. We will pay for shared booths for 3 businesses per booth for up to 12 businesses or 4 booths.
If you would like to take advantage
of this great opportunity feel free to contact Kristen at 202-997-0783 or
