Vendor Show, Free Samples, Raffle
The 2002 Vendor Show will be held on Thursday, May 23, from 9:30 AM to 3 PM on the TSRI campus in front of the Immunology building and in the atriums of the Beckman, Molecular Biology, and Immunology buildings. Throughout the day, representatives from over 75 scientific and biotech companies will be available at the four locations to answer questions about their products, provide literature, give demonstrations, and pass out free samples. All vendor show attendees are invited to return a raffle form with eight signatures (two from each of the four exposition locations) to the Jamba Juice stand next to the "Flame of Knowledge" sculpture in front of the Molecular Biology Building. While supplies last, these signed raffle forms can be exchanged for a free Jamba Juice. All signed raffle tickets will be entered into a grand-prize raffle for a $200 gift certificate for the University Town Center mall. A runner-up will win a $50 gift certificate. Raffle forms will be mailed to TSRI employees next week. The annual event is sponsored and organized by TSRI's Society of Fellows, which will also be providing free coffee and pastries.
