*
The Atlanta Blues Society will provide details on web-site listings, features, and bio's as required.
**
The poster will be one of our Annual Festival posters with a banner added to it that reads "Proud Sponsor of the Atlanta Blues Society" Suitable for placement in a prominent location (in a window for example) where it would have higher visibility to the public than the Sponsor's Certificate.
***
Pick of the month is a sponsor event that is recommended to our membership for group attendance.
****
Amount of Charitable Contribution will be determined by the Atlanta Blues Society in accordance with IRS Guidelines and stated in a letter sent to the Sponsor in January of each year.
