4 Starbuck cards for the taking …
RAC’s Business Recovery Fund (BRF) is looking for their signs at Expo. Be the first to find 1, 2, 3, or all 4 Business Recovery signs while in Las Vegas at Expo.
The contest is easy …
#1 — Take a picture of the sign
#2 — Post it to RAC Facebook page with the sign location (ex: Level 2, by restrooms)
#3 — Be the FIRST to post a picture and location to win a Starbucks gift card – there are 4 signs & 4 Starbucks cards
#4 — Even if you aren’t the first one to post – keep the pictures coming so we can see your crazy ideas including the BRF sign
There is only one rule … no moving of signs, or you will be on Santa’s naughty list next year. And we are 100% positive that a “Dear Santa, I can explain” letter won’t work.
