Hi Doug,
I've been doing programming at DDL for 16 years and have had some of the best performers in the state.  Last June, I had more compliments about your show than I have ever received before.  I know it's 6 months away, but I would like to secure you for next years Summer Reading Program Kick-off on Friday, June 12 at 11:00 a.m. Please let me know if you are able to do your program on that day and when you figure it out, what your theme will be.
Thanks in advance!
