Thank YOU! THANK you! THANK YOU!


You were AMAZING at our Time Out for Women SPRINGFIELD event! We hope that the event was just the perfect “time out” that you needed.  We just can’t thank you enough for ALL that you did to help fill those seats and find the women that needed to be there.  We could not do these events without our team…and even if we could, we wouldn’t! You are SUCH an important and FUN part of the event.
We loved working with and meeting you at the event. A huge thanks to our team leaders for leading our team.  They have such an incredible passion for the event and for the women in your area and it shows in everything they do.

The comments have been SO great about the experience the women had… from the moment they entered the venue doors, to finding their seats, and enjoying the event, they experienced TOFW at its best. And we know a huge part of that is because of your great help. Be sure to watch for the THANK YOU email from TOFW and SHARE it once you get it.


FINAL COMMENT CORNER:
Please take a minute to SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE and/or TAKE OUR SURVEY.  Your opinion as team members is especially valuable to us.  

And be sure to keep in touch with us by following us on our WEBSITE or FACEBOOK

We love you and hope that you have had a great year SEEKING THE GOOD! 

Until we meet again…
Tennisa (and all the rest of the TOFW staff!)

Event Information
We're so excited to be talking about all the EVENT DETAILS today because that means we're that much closer to being with you in Springfield!!! Woo Hoo!!!  After all these weeks of telling other women why TOFW is perfect for them, you can finally step back and think about how this weekend is really going to be perfect for YOU too!  And we're going to celebrate together.  Can you feel it?!  I honestly do not have enough exclamation points in the universe to let you know how excited I am so I'll just stop right there.


REGISTRATION & ATTENDEE INFO

1. PRE-EVENT EMAIL: We will be sending an email to the registered attendees (including YOU and scholarship recipients) the week prior to the event. This email will include parking information, lunch details and a reminder about the service project donations. Please tell people to watch for it. TICKETS WILL NOT BE MAILED, this email will have ALL of the information they will need about the event.  

2. EVENT INFO: The SPRINGFIED Event Webpage also gives all details about parking, lunch, special needs etc. You should also familiarize yourself with the Team FAQ tab if you haven't reviewed it  for a while, as you will be getting LOTS of questions from people that know you are a team member.  Attendees will turn their printed ticket in at the door in exchange for a WRISTBAND that will give them admission for the weekend.  They MUST have their wristband on Saturday when they return to the event.  If they are checking in at Will Call, they will be given their wristband at will call.   Doors open on Friday at 5:45pm and on Saturday at 8:15am. 

3. SERVICE PROJECT: Be sure to share with your groups about the donation items for our service project. You can PRINT the list here: http://deseretbook.com/timeout/possibility_packs

TEAM MEMBER EVENT ASSIGNMENTS
TEAM ASSIGNMENTS: You will be receiving information from your team lead or captain in the next week about your event assignments and next week’s blog post will have information about what your assignment will entail.

TEAM REGISTRATION: Team Members have been registered for the event.  You will get your staff badge at our Team Meeting and that will serve as your "proof of registration," you do not need to print your ticket! 

TEAM MEETING FRIDAY & SATURDAY: Please arrive at 4:15pm on Friday and 7:00am on Saturday for our team meetings that will begin PROMPTLY at 4:30 pm on Friday and 7:15 am on Saturday.

We will have A LOT to cover in a LITTLE time, so please do not be late. ;) 

Team Attire: Nice Casual (no jeans for team members). You will see women in slacks, skirts and everything in between. Wear whatever you feel great in! 

Reserved Seats: For Team Members with an Event Assignment we will allow you to reserve a seat for you and one other. You will be asked to NOT save entire rows. Please note that if you have a larger group we ask that they come when the doors open and save you a seat. 

Watching the Event: You will be released from your station when the event starts or just shortly after, so you shouldn’t miss anything!

Who Will YOU Find?

{Please check out the REG BY CITY to see how things are going in your area}
Be sure to comment below so we know you've been here!

WEEKLY BUSINESS
8 DAYS LEFT TO SAVE! WHO WILL YOU FIND?
Comments: Thank you for sharing how you are gathering groups!  And thanks for reporting if you know groups are still gathering.  It looks like we have more work to do following up on groups and SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS.  ;) 

--------------------------------------------------------------- 
WEEKLY FOCUS
As of today we have 352 women registered,  32 women on scholarship.  Add 50 mighty team members and that fills just over 400 seats at our event! We still have women to find and remind to reach our registration goals of 1150!  
We can DO IT!

So, let's share the GOOD and ask ourselves...
WHO WILL FILL THESE SEATS?
WHO NEEDS TO BE UPLIFTED?
WHO NEEDS A TIME OUT?
WHO NEEDS TO "SEEK some GOOD in her life?"
WHO can YOU INVITE TODAY to join you for the SEEK THE GOOD 10th Anniversary TOFW Tour?

Hopefully this little series of questions has brought at lease ONE woman to mind that you know could use a TIME OUT. So go on. Invite her. Offer her a scholarship. She will thank  you, I promise. And YOU with thank YOURSELF for doing some good. INVITE THE ONE! We can't wait to meet her!
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
SHARE CHALLENGE

We will be sending a  "LAST WEEK for PRE-REGISTRATION" reminder via email to all the Deseret Book customers in your area tomorrow, but the team gets a sneak peek!
