Montezuma Ball

The Montezuma Ball committee has been hard at work filling the room with sponsor tables.

But now our AIBA members can participate also.Montezuma Ball Logo

You can buy just the number of seats you want to help us fill tables.

The Montezuma Ball is one of the biggest and best 
opportunities of the year to rub shoulders with the top business owners and decision makers in the Albuquerque area.

And you can join in and help raise money for two great non-profit organizations having a serious impact on the small business community of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area (the Loan Fund and AIBA).

Call Duane Trythall at 505-262-1871, to get your tickets and make sure AIBA gets credit.

The Montezuma Ball is a delightful, historic event annually sponsored by Jim Long of Heritage Hotels with the proceeds going to local charities. This year the major beneficiaries are AIBA and the Loan Fund.

It will be held on November 19th at Hotel Albuquerque and the theme is appropriately “Made in New Mexico.” You can do your part in a variety of ways:

Three ways to participate and help AIBA

  1. Heritage Table Sponsor is $1500 for a table of ten, VIP champagne preview of silent auction for two, recognition in event program, and valet parking. Can attend VIP after party for $50/person.
  2. Compadres de Montezuma is $500 for two tickets, VIP champagne preview of silent auction for two, sponsor recognition in event program, and valet parking. Can attend VIP after party Ball for $50/person.
  3. Individual ticket sales are not available to the general public but will be made available to individual AIBA members at $150/ticket.

Google Is Looking For YOU

Google and the other search engines are looking for your website on KeepItQuerque.org and they are missing you.

People are coming to KeepItQuerque.org looking for you and they aren't finding you.

In September, we had over 140 searches on our website for categories and businesses that people and search engines like Google could not find.

That means you could have been missed. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Login on the KeepItQuerque.org "Home" page and enter your "Username and password." Then update your listing by clicking on "Change Contact/Profile Info". You can choose up to 5 different categories from our list.

Make sure your information is up-to-date. You wouldn't believe how many of your addresses and telephone numbers are out of date in our database. You now have total control.

After you do that, Click back to "Main Menu" and click on the "Manage Website" button.

You can create a unique webpage on the KeepItQuerque.org website with just the right information about your business (what it does, types of products, your business website address link, photos, video, hours of operation and much more).

Again, you have total control. Why miss this opportunity to help more people find you and find your business website.

From then on when someone searches for your company or your kind of business on the KeepItQuerque.org website, there will be a button for "more Info". That will lead to your custom webpage.

AND, it is easy to create. Just follow the fill-in-the-blank questions and like magic, it appears. Then go search the directory for your company and see what it looks like.

Here is an example of a Member Page of one of our board members:
