NEW YORK, March 20, 2001 - BiZBash.com Idea Center (www.bizbash.com), the first comprehensive media outlet targeted exclusively to corporate event planning and business entertaining professionals, meeting planners and hospitality executives, announced that it has discovered a unique service for events and parties called the Flying Squadron.

As appearing on BiZBash.com:
"World leaders and big parades require police motorcades to escort them as they drive around town. But if your special event doesn't warrant such protection, you can still get a police escort to add some pomp and flash. Al Gonzales and Jeff Simon of the Flying Squadron are real New York City police officers who also run a police escort service that can provide as many as four officers on motorcycles for special events, TV shows and movies."

BiZBash.com content will add creative ideas and localized editorial to mpoint.com, while PlanSoft content will provide additional planning guidelines and formulas to BiZBash.com. Each of the sites will promote links to the other's content.

"Working with BiZBash, we are able to provide mpoint members relevant information and insight to the special events world. This relationship supports our ongoing effort to provide professional planners a comprehensive resource for their meeting and event needs," said David K. Hunt, PlanSoft's chief executive officer.
