The Savvy Parent Seminar September 26th/10 from 12pm – 4pm
Twilight Room at The Willows in Saskatoon
So what is this event all about? You’ve been hearing a lot about it and I wanted to give you a bit more background on it. As a parent and a business owner, I felt there was a need to provide parents with information on a variety of relevant topics of interest in a setting that makes it enjoyable for them to receive that information. Other businesses I work with felt there was a need to do the same and thus The Savvy Parent Seminar was born!
Parents crave knowledge – I know I do. At times it can be difficult to find information and depending on the source, credibility can be an issue. By having a variety of experts available and having us come together in a comfortable setting to present that information offers parents enhanced learning opportunities. This will be a relaxing and entertaining experience that will leave you feeling more confident and informed about making healthy, sustainable choices for yourself and your family.
The Savvy Parent Seminar is an opportunity for existing and expectant parents to gather to hear information from experts on relevant topics, and to enjoy the company of fellow parents while sampling some wonderful food and beverages.
Tickets to attend are $30 each. What do you get for the cost of that ticket? Attendees are going to receive a swag bag full of product samples and information that is worth over $50+ in value, an event booklet with coupons totalling $30+ in value, and a chance to win door prizes that start at $25+ in value. They will get to sample some exquisitely prepared appetizers and dessert while listening to a knowledgeable group of speakers. The collective value of the speakers’ time alone definitely exceeds the cost of a ticket. As a parent or parent to be, how can you go wrong?
To make things even better, a charitable donation from a portion of the proceeds of the event will be made to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. We want you to know the event is about more than just a chance to shop for goods and services, snack and win a prize.
This event is about giving parents an opportunity to be pampered and to take some time for themselves to enjoy an afternoon while being able to come away feeling empowered and enriched by the experience. We know how hard it can be to do that sometimes. You can also feel good that you are helping contribute to a very worthwhile local charity.
Nursing babies are more than welcome and we will have some designated seating within the room for that. Many have asked if they need to leave their small children at home. We leave that choice up to each family as to what works best for them. If you are a young family and a toddler needs to join you at the event, there will be a small unsupervised child’s play area set up to help keep little ones busy with some toys and coloring supplies. Scheduled breaks between groups of speakers will allow people time to mingle, get up and stretch their legs, change baby, give their toddler some free time, and speak with presenters in greater detail on topics of choice.
The goal is to offer a unique, worthwhile experience in an intimate setting while having some fun along the way. We've kept the event size small to avoid a lot of hustle and bustle and to provide as close to a one on one experience as possible. We also respect the privacy of our attendees so no contact information will be shared with prize sponsors. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with other soon-to-be parents and existing parents.
