Dear [ Policy Maker ]:
On October 18, 2007, our afterschool program will be
participating in the 8th annual Lights On Afterschool
nationwide celebration of afterschool programs .
We will be one of more than 7,500 sites across the nation
sending the message that afterschool is key to children's
success, and that we must keep the lights on and doors
open after school. Parents, media, employers, neighbors,
school officials and others have been invited to help
us rally support for safe, stimulating afterschool programs.
We would like you to be part of our local celebration
scheduled
- [ Date and time ]
- [ Place]
- [ Address ]
Our program is going to include a half hour ceremony and we would be honored to have you as our keynote presenter. Your role would include:
- A 15-minute statement of the benefits of afterschool and
- Presentation of the proclamation to the Director
The benefits of quality afterschool programs are clear. They support working families by ensuring that children are safe and productive when the school day ends. Quality afterschool programs make our communities stronger by involving students, parents, business leaders and volunteers. Quality afterschool programs give children the opportunity to discover hidden talents as they grow academically and socially.
I look forward to having you join us for Lights On
Afterschool! I will call you next week to confirm
your availability. We hope that you will help us keep
the lights on after school, and give our children a
brighter future.
Sincerely,
[ Your Name and Title ]
