Hello Again Paul,<br />

Thanks for taking the time out <strong>of</strong> shooting Grad Photos to talk with me today about Stand Up<br />

For Mental Health.<br />

You do an amazing job in working with Community Support Workers, who will be on the front<br />

lines for the community each and every day dealing with mental health, homelessness and<br />

addiction issues. We are all part <strong>of</strong> the critical discussion that is now taking place.<br />

SMH would be most interested to bring SMH Day to UFV <strong>Mission</strong> Campus in the second or third<br />

week <strong>of</strong> October ( Chilliwack Campus is set for Oct. 7 and Abbotsford for the 8th). We would<br />

perform at lunch time for Students, Faculty and Staff and could also do a screening <strong>of</strong><br />

Cracking Up in the Evening. Where would you propose having this event, and how many people<br />

would you expect to attend Let's try and figure out the logistics and feasibility <strong>of</strong> such an<br />

event.<br />

We would also be most interested in working with you throughout the school year to do SMH<br />

mini-performances and workshops for students and staff around de-stigmatizing mental illness<br />

and getting the conversation going.<br />

Have attached a proposed News Advisory for the First Annual Valley Comedy Festival at the<br />

Clarke Theatre in <strong>Mission</strong>, on August 21 and 22. It explains why we are creating it and who<br />

our partners and supporters are.<br />

We would be honoured to have the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> be the Official Host Community for the<br />

Festival, and hope that the City might <strong>of</strong>ficially declare it SMH Day in <strong>Mission</strong> during the<br />

Festival. The Town <strong>of</strong> Sidney has graciously agreed to to both <strong>of</strong> these things for the First<br />

Annual Island Comedy Festival in Sidney a week prior to the Valley Event.<br />

Would you be kind enough to see if <strong>Mission</strong> City Council might agree to this<br />

I look forward to discussing all <strong>of</strong> this further with you at your earliest convenienceperhaps<br />

we might set up a meeting in the next 2 weeks.<br />

Kind Regards,<br />

Pat<br />
