5 days to go! Act now!

Dear friends, I have written a one-man show for Rudy Ramos* that is
very special to me. It is about Geronimo’s life on the reservation and I
consider it to be my valentine to the Apache people. So far, Rudy has had a
reading of the first scene at the 2013 High Chaparral Reunion and the 2013
Memphis Film Festival. It was rewarded with standing ovations! The whole show
premieres March 22, 2014, at the High Chaparral Reunion.
This is the last week of the Kickstarter project. Please
consider pledging any amount from a dollar up and visit the site to see
available prizes. With Kickstarter, no money will change hands—and no prizes
will be awarded—if the goal isn’t met.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Janelle*
