The expo, held from noon to 5 p.m., attracted nearly 1,000 visitors. One new service the expo offered was a bulletin board allowing members and visitors to post job offerings. The expo also gave job seekers an opportunity to pass out resumes. “We”™re trying all we can not only to help people who are looking for jobs (but) to help our local businesses fill them,” said RBA President Al Samuels.
