Community Fairs & Events
With the arrival of Spring and Summer, many communities and organizations request Delta Society's participation in their events. We are happy to accommodate these requests when we can. Mainly, the participation of Delta Society is contingent on the availability of Pet Partners to staff our booth. When we receive a request to participate in an event, the first step is to send an email out to all Pet Partners in the area, and if enough teams are available to fill in the time slots, then we sign up. Also, at least one, preferably more, of the Pet Partners participating in the event needs to help out with materials - allowing that the materials be shipped to their home or place of business, getting the materials to the event, and then getting them shipped back. If someone contacts us asking us to participate in an event and the event is taking place the next week during a regular working day, there is a good chance we won't be able to participate, but we'll do our best to let our Pet Partners know the event is taking place, in case one of you wants to take the lead in participating in the event - we will do our best to accommodate. The best thing to do is contact Candice,(425-679-5516) if you are interested in participating in an event, or if you know of an event you'd like us to post. All current Pet Partners with valid email addresses will receive a notice about upcoming events. If you are wondering if we have a correct email address for you, send us an email with your name and ID # and we'll check on it.

We are looking for Exhibitors whose goals and mission are in harmony with our purpose. We invite you to review the attached "TEC Exhibitor" .pdf document for more information on the show and then submit your Exhibitor Application. I'm hoping the Delta Society has some local organizations here in the area that would like to participate with us.
