Dear Emily,
Thank for the opportunity to share the benefits of Feng Shui with your
community.
It has been my experience that the lay person does best with a simple
hands on presentation, one that is not spread out over a period of time, but
rather one that is simple, concise and practical, fundamentals they can go
home with and incorporate into their daily living.
I feel your community would be best served with a concentrated one day or
consecutive'/2 days. The prerequisites would look like this:
1. minimum of 10 students
2. $99.00 per person for the one day
3. $126.00 per person for the consecutive '/z days (2 days total)
4. Screen for power point presentation
5. MD permitted to sell her Feng Shui books at presentation
6. Program to commence at 10 am and close by 5 pm with an hour lunch
7. Program to take place during work days, no't over weekends.
Depending on the interest we can always provide a layering program the
following month, as we do with students that intend to study on a deeper
level.
I hope this is what you are looking for. Please give me a date in 2007 as
soon as possible.
I have enclosed a very brief piece you could possibly use as a promo to the
program and my credentials.
I will be in the home office for the next two weeks, please feel free to call if
you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Mary Dennis
