The Gaay Gazette Volume 2, No. 1 Lees meer
Friday, July 24, 2026
Welcome to St. Louis! We're glad you're here. It will be a busy week of meetings, general sessions, breakouts, and more. Hopefully, your flight into St. Louis was uneventful.
The Marcia Nigro Dresser Communication Center is in Sterling 8 on the second floor of the hotel, next door to Registration. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, July 24 through Wednesday, July 29. This is where you can place ads in the paper, make braille or print copies, or volunteer to help produce the newspaper. If you can't make it down to the Communication Center, you may email your ad or announcement to slovering@acb.org.
The cost of advertising in the newspaper is:
• Individuals, ACB affiliates and blind representatives of MLM companies - $25/day or $60 for 3 days
• Exhibitors - $40/day or $110 for 3 days
• All others - $50/day or $140 for 3 days.
You pay for advertising at Registration; show your receipt at the Communication Center when submitting your ad.
Ads and other items for publication must be in the Communication Center by 2 p.m. each day. The BOP allows ads to run for up to three days to give important convention announcements more space. Ads must be no longer than 75 words. BOP editorial policy prohibits the production or distribution of campaign materials by the Communication Center.
Photocopying is available at the Communication Center for 10 cents/page. Brailling services are available as follows:
• Individuals, ACB affiliates, and blind representatives of MLM companies: 10 cents/page
• Small businesses and small nonprofits: 20 cents/page
• All others: 35 cents/page
If your committee or affiliate needs something in braille or large print, bring files early in the day so we can fit your job between other tasks. A test copy will be printed to let you know the number of pages per copy. Be sure to tell us how many of each format you need and by what time. Please make payment at registration.
