Encouraging encouragement
Dear Clair and Doug-
aka clair.levy@house.state.co.us and doug_young@markudall.senate.gov
I am refered to you by JoAnn Sorensen, former Commissioner of Clear Creek County and original founder of the glorious GDI party - which brings us straightway to my request. (for the unenlightened, GDI is the God D*** Independent Party)
The Town of Silver Plume has, well, that is, er, our, now 79 year old citizen and playwright, George Downing, and his fearless local troupe, have produced an original melodrama used to raise match funds for historic buildings within our National Historic District - for the last 32 years - someone had to do it, the Feds have their own problems . Oh, and did I mention that the melo did start as a bake sale, circa 1977.
We are asking to give you a full page in our 32 page program distributed to about 800 attendees in nine performances, if you will but write us a paragraph of congratulations, or encouragement, or, as you will - plus a digital photo of yourself (OK, Doug, I mean that Udall guy) and the digital artwork of the Seal of your domain - to my gmail address. We just might throw in a couple of tickets.
I attach herewith a PDF'd example page by Joan Fitz-Gerald, who really should have been our next member of the House - sorry, Jared.
Still looking for help and encouragement from Dan Gibbs, Mike Bennett and the Polis character (nice computer recycling!), if you can encourage them. Or forward this email.
By the way, I am blogging this note on our humble melodramadic melodrama blog (as a form of encouragement aka graymail) which will give you even more info and photos on our humble effort.
