LUTZ - Friday is the deadline for exhibitors to participate in the Women-n-Charge Health and Wealth Expo from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 2 at River of Life Church, 410 Chapman Road.

Women-n-Charge's president pro-tem, Becky Wanamaker, said exhibitors of both genders are encouraged to participate. It is recommended that vendors represent a business or service related to healthcare and/or financial services.

"This will tie in to the health and wealth theme," she said.

The expo, sponsored by the Pasco County-based businesswomen's organization, is said to be an event in which "a dynamic network of businesses will showcase their products and services."

Several bronze- and silver-level sponsorships are available. A bronze-level ($160) sponsorship includes a 6-foot skirted table and the inclusion of the vendor name on the event map. The silver level ($250) entitles the exhibitor to an 8-foot skirted table and the inclusion of the vendor name on advanced fliers and the event map. Both levels include two chairs and two box lunches for booth attendants.

Special rates are available for nonprofit organizations.

"We would love to have more nonprofits at the expo," Wanamaker said.

All exhibitors will be featured in advertising for the event, which includes ads in the pages of the event sponsor, The Tampa Tribune; live radio remote broadcasts the day of the expo, courtesy of The Point, WPOI, 101.5 FM; and La Nueva, WYUU, 92.5 FM; and fliers.

"There will be tons of exposure," said Wanamaker.

In addition, exhibitors and expo guests will get the opportunity to win $25,000 in the Crack the Safe contest.

Net proceeds from the expo will go to fund minigrants for women in business.
