Hi Fellow Skålleagues:

Doing Business among Friends ~ In the Atlanta Area We have partnered with Skål International again for 2012 and are using our mini-trade show/receptions for professional travel arrangers (primarily travel agents with a few event & meeting planners, group & incentive coordinators) as a means to promote Skål and excite some prospective members.  We hope to have the Atlanta Club to join us again in this effort.  Remember all the fun you had last year.
We have an evening show scheduled for Atlanta and we hope you can participate at no cost to your club.  We will be in the Atlanta area on March 15th.
We’re also in need of a location to hold the program if any of your members might be interested please have them call me ASAP.

Here’s the Deal:

1)       The Atlanta Club gets a complimentary table (it’s a table-top show—and a $695 value).  This would give your Club the opportunity to give out Skål information and talk to prospective members.  Skal International has provided us with promotional material to distribute at the shows as well as a pop-up display.  The exhibitor form for the Club’s free table is attached.  Please return it ASAP.
2)       For those Atlanta Skål Member Suppliers that work with travel agents, meeting & event planners, etc. we would offer them very special exhibitor rate for any of our shows--Only $329-$449 per show (about a 50% discount from the regular rate of $695).  I’m attaching the special Skål Exhibitor Application.  Please distribute it to your members that might be able to take advantage of this opportunity. 
In exchange, I would hope that you would help me in getting the word out to your local agents about the event.  And do some friendly arm-twisting to get us a few extra exhibitors at the show(s).

Hopefully the Atlanta Club finds this idea as a win-win deal.  Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards & Skål,
Buck
