Week 65 - Trees & Bushes & Sprinklers - Oh My!

Dear Fellowship members, staff and friends:

As our building project nears completion, I would like to create a special archival video based on your written stories related to the last year of construction and remodeling of the Fellowship.  It could be funny, serious, contemplative...anything representing your experience this past year.

  • Do you have an interesting, funny, tragic, unexpected, extraordinary or hard-to-believe story that happened to you this past year, relating to our building project or being out of our own space for many months?
  • If so:  Write down your story and then read it to yourself to see if it is about one minute in length.  If it is longer than "about a minute", please edit and shorten it.
  • Send me a written copy of your story or anecdote in the body of an email message or on an email attachment composed on Pages or Word. My email address is d303burrous (at sign) msn.com.
  • When I get all of the stories collected, I'll put together accompanying photos of the construction at the Fellowship with the narration of your story done by a professional narrator with a dulcet voice.   You don't have to narrate your story, just write it down.
Thanks in advance for your help with this important archival project.  Looking back 10 years later, we'll be glad we did this!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

David Burrous
