Benton Convention Center on Wednesday, March 28, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the third annual Triad Minority Business Trade Fair and Luncheon. , The purpose of the fair, said organizer Rip Wilkins, "is to introduce minority-owned com- i panies and businesses to the general public and < to give the businesses that participate a chance to advertise their products and services." The fair had 30 displays the first year and 61 last year. Wilkins said he hopes to top that number this year. "As the years pass, the fair continues to grow,"1 Wilkins said. One reason for the popularity is that the fajr is good for business, he said. "I'm a minority businessman myself and I got several jobs from people who said they saw me at the fair," Wilkins said. "And I have heard other people who participated say the same thing." r"l BUILDING ^.JYOUR ROO SPECIAL SAVINGS T jl FOR MY OLD CUSTOMERS tf#| AT MY NEW LOCATION! m?j RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW V3 WINSTON-SALEM ^ AT on i LIBERTY LINCOLN J Bonus by "Babo" Johnson * , 1984 r >artment prom* Road.

"The Minority Business League is an idea whose time has come." Lassiter sairt "In iqr? we first put together the local Minority Business League, but after one year, it floundered. Now we are attempting to get back together to revive the Minority Business League." Lassiter said that the organization is needed to provide help and support to the individual minority businesses. "We exchange ideas, use each other's experiences, pool our capital and provide strength for each other," Lassiter said. "Just as the Chamber of Commerce pulls together the successful businesses in Winston-Salem, that's what we are attempting to do for the minority business community." Wilkins said he hopes the businesses that participate in the fair will also take advantage of joining the Minority Business League. "The Trade Fair is a twofold thing," Wilkins said. "It gives people a chance to display their goods and it is an attempt to rebuild the Minority Business League."
