Hello Reynolda Directors Board,

Reynolda has blessed my son Michael and I tremendously these past two years that words cannot express! We look forward to a blessed future with our Reynolda Family as the Lord leads! Thank you all for all you do to provide such a great church home for us!

I have been talking to Pastor Chris and Mickey about a Children's Fitness and Character Development television show called "Thomas Anonymous and the Earthling Alliance." I have had this seed in my Spirit and been working on for over seven years. The program's pilot script and vision has been very well received by four major networks. Lord willing, it is time to put the script and vision on the screen. Experienced volunteers from the church have offered to help with the production and at least four of our Reynolda children will be participating in this wonderful production. I am excited to be able to see just how much God will bless our congregation through this.

As I have mentioned to Pastor Chris and Mickey, I would like to use the Club House live stage September 19th for a casting call from 2-5pm. Then a week of rehearsals September 27th, 28th & 30th, October 1st from 6pm-7:30. The idea is to shoot the pilot Sunday, October 3rd form 2-8pm. The first part of the show will take place on the stage. A short class room skit would be filmed in a classroom on the same day. So the Fellowship Hall would be empty by 5pm.

Mitch Garrison has offered to help with the sound board. I have budgeted $600 for a professional to bring his camera. However, if we have more experienced talent in house, I would rather keep it in the family!

So what I am asking is for the church’s blessing on this major endeavor by using the space, some equipment and any volunteer talents! Attached is a copy of the treatment and the pilot script. I am making so changes to the script.

I hope we can work together to make this a blessing to our church family and kids and families around the world!

All the Best, All the Time, Thomas Gavin

Lisa Shirley
