Hi Shannon:
I am writing to check and see if this is locked in on the calendar.
If so, I can start to promote the Mayor’s participation, but Chris advised that I should check and see if it is
locked in first. This is for the Chicago Dancing Festival 5 th Anniversary Program, August 23-27.
Thanks,
TA

for our supporters and the big closing night at the outdoor Pritzker, 27 August, would be great. Additionally, Ill have
Evin Eubanks, our Exec Dir talk to our PR people about setting up a release involving your support.
