AD SALES ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2009!

Showcase your business, club, organization, contest or special event in the
2009 ABW program book!

Specific dates for American Brotherhood Weekend 2009 have not been set, but plans are in motion for another trip to New Orleans, July 2009. Our program book for 2009 will be the same as 2008's program: a large, magazine-style format featuring large-sized ads at prices prices set to accommodate virtually any budget. This is not just an opportunity to support an important community event and a great charity, but to also have your ad highlighted to a large focus of the leather community. We had a terrific crowd at ABW 2008 and we anticipate greater numbers and more excitement in 2009!

Our program book will have a full color front and back cover and a black & white interior body.  The centerfold (b&w), the inside front cover (color), the inside back cover (color), and the back page (color) ads are included with particular ABW sponsorship packages and therefore are not available for "stand-alone" ads.
