Message-ID: <481215EF.6030005@FoxValleyHistory.org> Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:33:35 -0500 From: Matthew Carpenter <Matt@FoxValleyHistory.org> Subject: [SPAM] Funding for presenters
Dear Greg:
I continue to think our community would enjoy hearing you talk about
about environmentalism in the Fox Valley. Have you developed a talk
based on your book?
If you have are you interested in presenting here at the History Museum?
I'd gladly do the grant application to the Wisconsin Center for the
Book. It is a modest honorarium but you'd get the full $300.
Let me know what you think.
Best,
Matt Carpenter
The History Museum at the Castle
Appleton, WI
The Wisconsin Center for the Book will award up to four grants of $300
each to qualifying organizations wishing to sponsor a Wisconsin author

The grants are made possible through the cooperation of the Wisconsin

private elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools; community
