Meeting Requirements and RSVP

Everyone must RSVP Yes or No. No later than the Friday prior to the meeting date!
EWI Program Coordinators must confirm attendance numbers with the hotel or other catering company in advance.

• No shows are charged -- we need to have timely RSVPs into the Sergeant-at-Arms the Friday before the monthly meeting which is the second Wednesday of each month.

• It costs EWI to pay for those that RSVP and don’t show. Once our numbers are confirmed with the hotel or other catering company, any no shows and any late cancellations must be charged in full.

• EWI is required to pay for all of its registered guests, whether or not they attend.

Should you need to cancel your reservation by the Friday before the meeting, you MUST receive a confirming email from the SAA that your cancellation is received.  If you do not get a confirming email from SAA, your reservation is still in effect and you will need to pay for the dinner that was reserved for you.

Please remember to go online to http://www.springsewi.com/ and submit your RSVP or your Regrets. You may pay online if you like (this helps us tremendously too).  Please remember to do so NO LATER than the Friday prior to the meeting.

Countdown to Fun, Friends & Fundraising!!
June 1, 2012 at the Broadmoor

May is already here and we have much to accomplish to make our 10th Annual Scholastic Golf Tournament a success.  

We really need all you current EWI’s to rally and work on securing golfers, luncheon attendees (great time to bring guests!), gather up donations for Silent Auction & Door Prizes and of course...Sponsors!

We currently have a $2000 sponsorship from Ent, a $1000 sponsorship from Adam Way Financial/Office Now, and the $500 putting challenge by Wells Fargo.

Remember if you sponsor a hole this year your company can have a presence at the hole, so consider recruiting hole sponsors as well. We currently have FOX21, Central Bancorp, Colorado Christian University, Discover Goodwill, Pikes Peak Regional Development, Proforma, Luma, Standard Textile, And Wallace Vision (some of these are 1/2 hole sponsors).

If you or someone you know will be golfing, please register early so we can get a feel for the golfer turnout, you can always pay later as long as it’s before the tournament.

Thanks to all of you that have already responded with donations and reported in on your efforts to recruit for this event...we appreciate you!
