The New Jersey Open Road Thunderbird is hosting the 2002 International Convention and Concours d'Elegance for the Classic Thunderbird Club International. "Migrate to the Garden State - New Jersey 2002" will be held June 27th to July 2nd in Parsippany, New Jersey. 

This will be the first International Convention for the classic, 1955 - 1957, two-seater Thunderbirds in the Northeast. Every effort is being made to insure the maximum participation of Thunderbird owners and enthusiasts. We already have registrations from all areas of the United States, and internationally from Canada and Europe. Many of the Thunderbirds will be driven cross-country (from as far as California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia) to participate. We are getting a tremendous response, and expect this Convention to be very well attended!

We want to make sure that the Convention is "First Class" in all respects, and we have gotten very positive feedback about our plans. To help make this the best International Convention ever, we are asking for your support with one or more of the following:

Sponsorship & Donations -

Sponsorship can be in the form of a cash donation, or the donation of an item(s) of equal value. We would appreciate any donations of merchandise for Raffle Prizes, which will be used as a fund raiser during the convention. A variety of items are also needed for use as Door Prizes and for our "Registrant Goody Bags". A printable Sponsorship & Donation Form (in Adobe PDF format) is available online.

Opportunities also exist for higher levels of support, as the Official Sponsor of an activity or commemorative item. We will be happy to discuss the possibilities and any special request that you might have.

All contributors will be listed in the souvenir program and on our website (with a link to your website). To provide you with the maximum exposure and recognition, we have established a tiered recognition system based on the amount of your sponsorship and/or donation.
 

Program Advertising -

The souvenir program will be distributed to all Registrants. While our Convention registrants do share a common love of the classic Thunderbirds, they also have a wide variety of additional interests and needs. You do not have to be a Sponsor or make a donation to advertise in the program, and your ad is not restricted to Thunderbird related items and/or services. 

• Program will be 8-1/2" by 11" with a glossy, color cover. Inside pages will be black & white.
• Advertising deadline is May 15, 2002
• Rates are as follows:

• Camera Ready artwork is preferred, but we will be happy to typeset your ad if needed.
• Program will be produced using PageMaker v6.5 for Windows. Compatible electronic files are welcome.
• A printable Advertising Form (in Adobe PDF format) is available online.

For those attending the Convention, we will also have a Vendor's Room. If you are interested in a table(s), information is available on the Convention Registration Form. If you have any special requests (such as outdoor space), please contact us so we can work with you. 

The New Jersey Open Road Thunderbird Club sincerely appreciates any support that you can give our Convention, and your contributions will be recognized! You will receive an acknowledgement on receipt of your donation, and a copy of the souvenir program will be sent to you after the Convention.
