<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Dear Jessica, </div><div>I have this proposal into the NOPBC of Colorado. In case you want to know what I am working towards it is to<span style=""> read aloud a story or stories. It would require getting images into the hands of as many kids as possible. I could mail them out if we could get names and addresses at least 2 weeks ahead of time. The number of participants will determine how many pictures each child receives. I'll be making them in my studio and it is only partially automated. :-) </span></div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">Other kids could join us after the mail date and participate with out the pictures. That would be sad. Maybe we need to figure that out.</div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">So let me know what your thoughts are if you like and I am wondering if I might get some help with postage if it becomes too expensive. I am sure we can figure that out down the road. </div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I hope you and K are doing real well. All best wishes, Ann</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;">Ann Cunningham</span></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Tactile Art </span></em></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;">303 887-1713</span></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;"><a href="mailto:ann@acunningham.com">ann@acunningham.com</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;"><a href="http://www.acunningham.com">http://www.acunningham.com</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;"><a href="http://www.sensationalbooks.com">http://www.sensationalbooks.com</a> </span></div><div><br><br></div>
