Saskatoon Women’s Network (SWN) Vacation Dinner Committee (hereafter known as the Selection Committee) hereby seeks Expressions of Interest from current members for Entertainment for the 2018 Vacation Dinner. The theme of the 2018 Vacation Dinner is Girls Gone Wild (in the jungle) and will be held on Friday October 12, 2018.

Purpose
The Selections Committee’s purpose in seeking the Expressions in Interest is to obtain submissions from interested parties that are current members, thus allowing as many current members as is possible have an opportunity to submit proposal for consideration.

Eligibility
Expressions of Interest are invited from any current member of the SWN (current member being described as an individual who has paid their membership in full for the 2018/2019 networking year, and is currently not in arrears with the SWN).

Requirements
The Selection Committee requires entertainment for the 2019 Vacation Dinner.  Please provide details of sponsorship and any applicable costs to SWN.

• Portfolio, either a link to a website, Facebook page, etc.
• Detailed cost, which would include equipment, lighting, etc.

Anticipated Outcome
Following evaluation, the Selection Committee expects to make a decision by June 8, 2017 as to which Entertainment has been selected. The Selection Committee reserves the absolute right to reject or dismiss any or all of the submissions received. The Selection Committee reserves the right to switch entertainment at any given time prior to contract.

Each year SWN opens the opportunity for our membership to choose a charity in late fall to Christmas time each year. SWN does not donate as an organization. However, Expressions of Interest (EOI) are respectfully received and then the recipient organization is selected by a committee headed by our Program Director. Members are encouraged to donate to the selected organization and usually a delegate is asked to speak at the December luncheon.
