Calling all ASA-member NACE and CARS attendees to booth N8601 to participate in ASA's "ASRW Chairman's Club Challenge," during Automotive Service and Repair Week (ASRW) in Las Vegas, Nov. 4-7.

ASA is giving you the chance to win a $100 VISA gift card by signing up one new member who is attending either NACE or CARS. All you have to do is get one shop (or more, for more chances to win) to join the association during the shows, and your name as well as the name of the member you recruited, will be placed into the drawing for the prize. If your names are picked on Saturday at 2 p.m., you each win a $100 VISA gift card.*

Wait — it gets better! ASA is making it even easier for you to convince a new member to join by offering the "ASRW Show Special" - 18 months of membership for the price of 12! We'll also have helpful recruiting tools in the ASA booth/member lounge (N8601) to give you the information you need to show nonmembers why they need to become part of our association.

There's still more. By recruiting new members for ASA during ASRW, you will join ASA's 2010 Chairman's Club and be entered into the running to earn a free trip to the 2010 NACE or CARS events!

So, stop by Booth N8601 to participate in ASA's "ASRW Chairman's Club Challenge" or if you're a nonmember, stop by to take advantage of the "ASRW Show Special." We'll see you in Vegas!

*Official rules and details available at Booth N8601, during ASRW expo hours.
