The organization will sponsor one of the state’s largest barter trade fairs Nov. 14 at the Mesa Marriott Hotel in downtown Mesa. The fair will offer merchandise ranging from cars and bicycles to jewelry and gift baskets. But only members of the exchange and their employees will be able to make the cashless acquisitions.
In lieu of cash Christmas bonuses, many member companies will give their trade credits to employees so they can attend the event and buy Christmas presents, he said.
About 600 members and employees are expected to attend.
