GSDBA PRESENTS NEW 2006 DIRECTORY AND NEW YEAR MIXER

The Greater San Diego Business Association has begun distributing its largest Directory ever, featuring 600 business listings, 300 display ads and more full-color pages compared to last year's publication. With 30,000 copies recently printed, The Directory features a new velvet matte paper and carries a slimmer look and feel, notes Joyce Marieb, executive director of the GSDBA. Its multi-image cover was created by Alternative Strategies.

The GSDBA Directory has come to be recognized as the definitive resource for community businesses," adds Marieb. The Directory will be distributed by mail to GSDBA members and made available throughout the year at more than 100 distribution points that include community businesses and events.

Members and guests can also pick up copies of The Directory at the GSDBA's upcoming Joyous New Year Rooftop mixer, scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Jan. 19, at Top of the Park, 525 Spruce St. The event will feature hors d'oeuvres from the facility’s new menu. The cost is $5 for members and $7 for guests, which includes food and the first drink free. For more information, call the GSDBA office at 619-296-4543.
