energy to work on the Mime Troup event, other than radio promotion.
I'm not sure any of us has. Last year Peace Fresno was the sponsor - they
can get the glory as far as I'm concerned.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello everyone -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am emailing you because you are some of the folks
who supported our past performances in Fresno. We would like to come again
this year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finances look a bit grim. This year we do not
have grant support for Central Valley performances, and balancing our own budget
left us unable to visit Fresno on a weekend day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only time we have available is Tuesday,
September 19th, when we are on our way to LA. We checked with the Tower
Theater, thinking Roeding Park might not work on a weeknight, and their fee was
$1900! We checked with Camille at Peace Fresno and she said a $20 ticket
price would be out of reach for many in the community.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In order to meet our expenses (we are paid a weekly
salary of $450, just so you have a frame of reference), we need to make $3,000
on a weeknight and $4500 on Saturdays and Sundays, in order to stay even with
expenses.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It has been suggested that some college or high
school auditoriums might be free if we didn't charge. An arrangement like
that would require underwriting for the event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you have thoughts? Creative
ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We appreciate your time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
