A brilliant full color, full page ad appeared in the Arts Section of last Sundayês Washington Post ( March 27) praising Washington area dealers for their success in organizing the 2005 Washington Auto Show Congressional Gala and Preview for charities. The business and community relations side of the Post did this for WANADA dealers as part of their sponsorship of the Congressional Gala, but also because of their long standing partnership with WANADA and area dealers on important industry and community events.
Besides the Post, the Congressional Gala was sponsored by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, NADA, and XM Satellite Radio. Beneficiary organizations were Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, Parkinson Foundation, Primary Care Coalition, Maryland Shock Trauma Center and Washington Hospital Center which turned out scores of their supporters for the elegant black tie preview. Members of Congress mixed with many state and local elected leaders and assorted VIPs from the industry and business community.
Next yearês Congressional Gala Preview will precede the Washington Auto Showês new dates on Monday evening, January 23, 2006.
A copy of the ad is included for everyoneês information.
WANADA is grateful to The Washington Post for the positive media spotlight.
