SPONSORS/COORDINATORS: Please submit your event write-up, menu, time and cost by the 25th of the third month preceding your event in order for the event to be listed and advertised in the newsletter for at least two months prior to the event. For example, February event information should be submitted to Dawn Foster by November 25th for advertisement in the December and January newsletters. This will help generate interest and member registration in plenty of time to insure the success of the event. |

WFSO MEMBERS: Please sign up for events as soon as you can so that Event Coordinators can get an idea of the number of guests who will be in attendance. This is especially important when restaurants or catering companies need a deposit or a guaranteed number of guests to keep a reservation. |
