NAWBO D/FW Makes Connections With Trinity Fest 2003
Volunteer Now and Make Your Own New Connections!
by By Susan Abrahamson

NAWBO D/FW is very excited about its partnership with Trinity Fest 2003, the second annual, community-wide, Fourth-of-July celebration. The festival, which is open to the public, will be held in downtown Dallas on Friday, July 4, 2003. NAWBO will benefit from greatly increased community visibility, the opportunity to build stronger relationships with our corporate partners (many of whom will play a prominent role in the celebration) and the opportunity to participate with many of the city’s most notable business leaders in a new, different and exciting civic venue.
