This email recently reached ‘Spirited Engagement’ producer Tony Heriza. We can’t think of a better response to this piece about a complex, multi-layered, consensus-based organization.

Hello, Tony.

I’ve just returned from a week in southern California, where I had three opportunities to watch the film in small groups (from one on one to an executive committee meeting). The responses were wonderful, and I myself get more out of the movie each time I watch it. It is so rich, and so well crafted. One person at the committee meeting declared that if she knew nothing about AFSC but saw that film, this is the organization she’d want to work for.

STRATHMERE sound & light
a special film presentation for the people of Strathmere

This 26 minute DVD of Strathmere is now available to all for purchase.

produced and directed by:
Frances McElroy and Ann Tegnell
Shirley Road Productions and extendedPLAY inc.

Thanks to producers/directors Fran McElroy and Ann Tegnell for creating such a wonderful and accurate portrait of life in our little town. They donated the rights to sell a limited edition of this film specifically as a fundraiser for the Strathmere Fire Company. They have also been working on a different version of a Strathmere documentary for broadcast television, and would welcome additional input and support from our community for this ongoing project. In particular, they are still looking for home movies that show Strathmere life from times past.

All proceeds of ‘STRATHMERE sound & light’ will benefit the Strathmere Volunteer Fire Company.
DVD copies of the film will be priced at $20.00 each.
All mailing will be a flat $5.00 shipping fee – no matter how many DVDs you buy.

Please let others know about the opportunity to purchase one or, better yet six copies of this little gem.
