Subject: Reminder - The Big Book Club Getaway for Librarians, Teachers, Students

Hello,

I’m writing to re-introduce our team and remind you about an exciting new event called The Big Book Club Getaway that is coming to the Mohegan Sun on February 1-2, 2013. More than 40 bestselling and award-winning authors and presenters will converge to discuss their work. Attached is an official press release that explains the program in detail. CT Humanities is a presenting sponsor, along with Chicken Soup for the Soul and many others. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter.
We are offering a special rate for librarians, teachers, students and non-profit organizations … only $75 for the full two day program, which is a $25 savings off the General Admission price. You can register on the event website at www.thebigbookclub.com/registerhere or send a check to LaFrancois Marketing Consultants, 299 Essex Road, Old Saybrook, CT, 06475. Be sure to include your name(s) and email address(s).
Since this is a startup event, we would be so grateful if you would be willing to post a flyer on your library’s community bulletin board. All libraries that agree to help us will be entered into a drawing for one free night’s accommodations (one hotel room) at the Mohegan Sun on February 1. Please email us if you would like to receive the flyer and be included in the drawing.  If you’ve already responded, thank you!  We will announce the winning library on January 24.
The event website is www.thebigbookclub.organd Facebook Page is www.facebook.com/thebigbookclubgetaway. Please “Like” us and stay tuned for more updates!
Again, our team is very appreciative of any support you can provide, as this is a monumental effort and with success, we’d love be able to make it an annual event!
Sincerely,
Colleen LaFrancois and Susan McCann
