Re: Logistics of _______________________ performance.
Please confirm the date, time and location.________
As you can see, I’ve enclosed:
1) bookmarks for promo at your checkout desk
2) a poster that you’ll be able to copy and plaster all over town (or feel
free to make you own)
3) a newspaper pyramid story that they can cut from the bottom; feel free
to add anything you want to champion at the library
4) photos
5) a 30 second radio spot.
6) Sample letters of invitation to area organizations.
My portion of the program will be 60 minutes.
You may like a presentation of the colors by (?) VFW and/or American
Legion, Boy/Girl Scouts (optional, this will add time to the program – your
choice).
I have two formats:
1 2
Meeting Room or Stage Gym
standing 8’ by 8’ map
7’x 7’ screen
19’ x 15’ billboard floor map
7’ x 7’ screen
In either case I’ll need electricity. My screen has a daylight face so we won’t
need to dim the lights. In a meeting room I have my own “taxi”
loudspeaker. I have my own mikes. In a gym I’ll plug in to the gym’s sound
system.
Call me if you have any questions: 405 517 4612 (don’t leave a message as
old fogies don’t know how to do anything but answer a call).

today.
John is no stranger to the state’s libraries and schools, with 30 years
