1. Specify the location. Name of building, address, size and cost of renting. Pictures attached to the proposal would also be helpful. Also include parking capacity.
2. Suggest a date. Final negotiations with the building owner would be handled by SAW, but it would be helpful if you could determine ahead of time that there are dates when the building would be available within a three month period of time. This proposal must reach SAW at a minimum of 18 months prior to the suggested date.
3. List the number of potential workers within the area. We need to know what groups/individuals would be available to help man and put on the event. It will help to know if there are 10 workers available or 100.
4. List extra expenses involved with renting this particular site. Are chairs and tables and electric included in the rental or are they extra expenses. A quote on prices would be most helpful.
5. List of other attractions within the geographic area. Many people make a vacation trip out of attending, and it is helpful to know if there are other venues that would make this site more appealing as a location.
6. List of motels and campgrounds and restaurants in the area and if possible, the distance from them to the building location.
7. Transportation available to the area - Major airports, train, bus, interstates and their proximity to the building location. If there is some distance from say an airport to the venue, are shuttle bus's a possibility.
8. List the local scrolling resources - Wood suppliers, pattern makers, etc. within reasonable proximity to the building. This can also include other woodworking clubs within the area. This list should also include major personalities with the area that would possibly be willing to do a seminar or demonstration.
9. List the advertising possibilities within the area: Newspapers, magazines, cable TV, etc.

There should be no expense involved with compiling this information. Final negotiations and costs would be incurred by SAW and not by you locally. If your site is selected, we would ask that you or your group be involved with the planning and assist with the co-ordination of the event.
