Don't get left out in the cold! Earlybird deadline for the 108th Annual Membership Banquet ends TODAY!

Local actor and filmmaker, Danny Zanelotti, is working on a piece for the Louisiana Film Prize and has an innovative idea to fund it. How can you help and be a part of the movie magic? Danny needs donations from your business to be used as perks for crowd funding but can also bring customers into your business. If you own a business that has inventory that is being replaced with new inventory or something that just won't sell, give it to Danny! He will sell the item, get customers to come to your store to pick it up, and give you the chance to up-sell them. "In return, you have the potential of gaining new customers, as well as advertising on all of the cast and crew's social media, as we will be filming videos at your business and displaying your products as perks, and a complimentary copy of the movie after the movie has premiered." If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Danny at 903-472-2325.
