THANK You! Thank YOU! THANK YOU!

TOFW Sacramento, CA{I've posted this on our Team Face Book Page, please go in and tag yourself so we remember your cute faces.}

You were AMAZING at our Time Out for Women at the Colorado Convention Center! 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 & Natalie (and all the rest of the TOFW staff!)

Pre-Registration Report


PRE-REGISTRATION REPORT IS IN
Wow ladies, registration grew so much this week!  Nice work!  

We have reached a registration amount a little lower than the last time we came to Denver, but with all of the feedback you gave about people wanting to wait to register until fall schedules are more in place, I bet we will have lots more register before the event.  We have the potential to make this Denver event bigger than it was in last year!  

Here is a little history for you about Denver Registration through the years:

In 2003 we had over 2800 register for TOFW. (Wow, we really used to have big crowds!)
In 2004 we had over 1600  register for  TOFW. 
In 2005 we had over 1800  register for  TOFW. 
In 2007 we had over 1200  register for  TOFW.
In 2009 we had over 1500  register for  TOFW.
In 2011 we had over 1600  register for  TOFW.
In 2012 we now have 1424 registered!  

I know you are the TEAM to help Denver get back in the groove and not let anyone miss their TIME OUT!

Scholarship: I have re-opened scholarship and increased the limit so we can fit in who want to be at TOFW but just cannot afford it.  Lisa can now accept Scholarship submissions again until Monday, September 10th, or until the new limit is reached.  



KEEP UP THE AMAZING PUBLICITY!!
