Thank You!
There is no
way to express our appreciation enough or to mention everyone deserving of
our thanks, but we will try to our best:
Sponsors &
Exhibitors
Special
thanks to:
 |
All our
exhibitors who provided great exhibits and energy! |
|
Our major funding sponsors including
The Home Depot, Whole Foods Market, Saturn of Troy, RetroFoam
of Michigan, DTE Energy - GreenCurrents, Choose Renewables, Body Mind Spirits - Rochester Mills,
Carbon Credit Environmental Service. Without
this funding we would not have been able to make it work financially or
offer low cost exhibitor levels. |
|
Our media sponsors that provided free
full-page ads including Body Mind Spirit Guide and
Healing Garden Journal, whose very early offer got
our major sponsor effort motivated. |
|
Exhibitors who offered major marketing assistance including DTE Energy (GreenCurrents)
with their 500,000+
customer email newsletter. |

Irene's Myomassology Institute for providing massage therapy at 16 busy stations
