News from Downtown Muncie 1/13/2006

This message comes from Dawn New, our designer for the Do It Downtown Wrap. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity, courtesy the Star Press, for promoting business news and downtown events. When you look good, we all look good... Go, Team, Go!!!!!

I wanted to see if you could remind all the downtown folks to have their materials to me by Jan 18th (gives them some time after MLK weekend). Please have them send copy and photos/art to dawnnew2@gmail.com. If using Photoshop, images need to be at least 200dpi.
