Passing this along to you all~

Hi, Laura! and to the Midwest Collage Society 

Since you're on my list, you've probably heard by now,
 but I wanted to make sure you knew about the art
 marketing workshop I have coming up in Naperville, IL
 in October.
If you are ready to invest time, energy, and
 resources for a more fulfilling art career, join us!
It's super critical I write you now because the early
 registration deadline ends this Wednesday - August 15!
Since the last time I gave a workshop in Illinois was 2008
 - and who knows when I'll be back again - I thought
 you might want to take a look.
Here are the basics:

No-Excuses Art-Marketing Workshop
All Artists, All Media
Friday-Saturday, October 19-20, 2012
Naperville, IL

Organized by the Naperville Art League
As I said, I'm writing now because early registration
 ends on August 15. You'll save $$ and get a bonus gift
 if you sign up by that date.
I'd love for you to come!
Whether you can or can't make it, would you be so kind
 as to do me a favor? I'm trying to help out the committed
 artists who are organizing this event. I also don't want
 artists to find out about the workshop AFTER it occurs!
If you know artists or organizations that should know
 about this workshop, could you please share the
 information?
I've included some cut-and-paste text that you can use
 (below). Or you can make up your own.
Thanks for your time.
With appreciation,
Alyson
