As a runner, I find your accomplishment to be almost <br /> surreal. <br /> The Festival of the Lakes 8 K is put on the Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee, which I <br /> chair. We have a meeting next week. I will present your proposal to the committee and reply back to you late <br /> next week. In the mean time, I will view My Run. <br /> Centerville is a very small town with a very modest Parks and Recreation budget. In fact, we use the <br /> proceeds from the run to make improvements in our parks. The run has been pulling about 150 <br /> participants. This year we will add a 5K hoping to increase the participation. We are a committee of <br /> volunteers. All decisions are made by the City Council. So with that as a back ground - here is my initial <br /> reaction to your proposal <br /> 1) We simply do not have the budget for even a reasonable speakers fee. I don't think that will work. <br /> 2) Selling copies of you book is an attractive idea. The proceeds would help us and the causes you have <br /> outlined are very worth. <br /> 3) Regarding showing the film with questions and answers. We do have a very popular Movies- in -the- <br /> Park program. I will keep that in mind as I view My Run. Do you charge a speakers fee or a copy write fee for <br /> showing the film? Without getting into negotiations - can you give me a ball park figure of what the fees might <br /> be <br /> 4) Can you expand on selling signed copies of My Run. I assume the film is on a DVD. What is the <br /> cost and would Centerville receive any part of that cost? <br /> Thanks for contacting me. <br /> Pat Branch <br /> On Apr 24, 2013, at 11:58 AM, Terry Hitchcock wrote: <br /> Dear Pat: <br /> Re: Running a marathon each day for 75 consecutive days — broke World Record at time of Run <br /> I'm contacting you regarding the Festival of the Lakes 8K scheduled to be held on July 27 and to <br /> see if you and your organization would have an interest in my story and the opportunity to have me <br /> participate that day.
