I thought perhaps I could simplify the process for you by sending my confirmed itinerary to-date. I do have two additional locations pending confirmation, but I did not include them on this list in the event they do not proceed with hosting the program. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am both humbled by and deeply grateful to Michigan libraries for their wonderful response and support.

Although I am privileged to be the conduit to bring <b>“A Thousand Letters Home”</b> to print, I consider this to be his book not mine. Carrying on the legacy of our WWII veterans and sharing my father’s message via <b>“The Journey of the Letters”</b> in over 200 venues has literally been life changing for me. Thank you for your efforts in helping to pass the word about this program throughout communities in northern Michigan! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I routinely participate in media interviews in advance of my events to assist the host venue with publicity. If you are familiar with any newspapers or magazines that are dedicated to northern Michigan, please forward the names of the publications and I will be happy to reach out to them directly. I am also attaching my press release template. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thanks again, Lisa.
