  ____________________________

  The Specialty Food Association (SFA) has agreed
  to provide FCIA with a dedicated space for our first
  ever "FCIA Pavilion and Educational Forum." This 
  is a huge step forward for us. Under the agreement
  FCIA will have available up to 20 kiosks ($1200 each)
  for our members to promote their wholesale products
  to the huge group of specialty food buyers. Since we
  have a limited number of kiosks, please don't delay
  in signing up. Kiosks will be delegated on a first
  come, first served basis.
  
  In addition, FCIA will have a stage area for guest
  speakers, tastings, and pairing demonstrations over
  the three days to further promote our members, their
  products and fine chocolate in general.
  
  FCIA members will also receive deep discounts on
  registration to the Fancy Food Show in order to 
  attend the Pavilion and Education forums if they
  are unable to get or did not want a kiosk.
  
  Why Should You Be There: 

  This is an excellent opportunity for our members
  to network directly with the media (who always work the
  show looking for new products), retailers, and allied specialty
  food companies. 
  
  Please contact Nicole Price or Bill Guyton for details.
