I'm Lynn Neil, the Women's Show Director for the St. Luke's Women's
Fitness Celebration in Boise, Idaho.

I need some assistance in finding a GREAT intern/interns for the
Celebration. The position has been listed on various university web
sites, however, due to the association with St. Luke's, the applicants
are coming from the health services department but what I REALLY NEED IS
A MARKETING/PR/EVENT person.  First and foremost, we are a business that
produces an event.  We are looking for an intern who might have career
interests in the fields of Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing,
Sales, Event Planning or Sports Promotion.  The intern will have an
opportunity to interact in the Boise community with Art Directors, media
(TV-Radio-Print), AV Production companies, Event Planning logistics and
sponsors of our event.  I want to create a special project for the
intern/interns which would include a marketing/outreach program to
Canyon County to bring in more 5K participants.  This is real-world
experience with dead-lines, budgets and an opportunity to get  hands-on
training to go out and start a career.

The St. Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration is a five-day event
encompassing Woman in Business, a two-day Women's Consumer Show and a 5K
Run, Walk and Stroll.  Currently, it is the largest, all-women event of
it's kind in the United States! Our consumer show attendance is over
25,000 people and the 5K had 12,500 participants this year. Now in it's
16th year, we are the most anticipated event in September in Boise. Our
web site is www.celebrateall.org.

I would like to find a hard working intern/interns with the following
skills and interests:

1. Strong writing skills for press releases, articles and brochure
content.
2. Product launches
3. Event production
4. Marketing and promotions
5. Advertising

Although we are under the umbrella of St. Luke's Regional Medical
Center, our department has nothing to do with health care. Also, the
intern does not need to be a runner.

In the past, we have had stellar interns from BSU, U of I, BYU,
Albertson's College and NNU so I am hoping you can make a recommendation
and expand our net-work of Celebration Intern Alumni. Could you please
post this announcement to your department web site or if you send out
group e-mails to your students, please include this. 

 Thank you for your help in finding a great intern and I appreciate
your time.

Sincerely,

Lynn Neil
