SUBJECT:  Cancellation of Small Business Vendor Fair and Trade Show

We regret to announce that the Small Business Vendor Fair scheduled on Wednesday September 4, 2002, has been cancelled. The response from vendors to exhibit was not sufficient to justify holding this event, as many relayed concerns about the economy and the loss of time from their business for the day.

We apologize if this cancellation is an inconvenience and expect to reconvene our campus team soon to start the process of organizing a successful event for next year.

If you have any questions, please contact our Small Business Office at 534-6635.
