NEW LADAP MEMBERSHIP BROCHURES!

Thanks to Membership Director Kathi Prado for taking the lead in creating and printing out new LADAP membership brochures. We hope that our dealer members will make them available to their clients at trade shows or as inserts in their packages and that other members will help get them out to interested friends and family. We appreciate your help in growing our organization. More LADAP members means more support for Mexican artisans!
