Hi Margaret,

It was wonderful connecting with you. Attached is my proposal outlining how we could collaborate to support the launch and long-term success of CommunitySing!.

As I was thinking through the project, I believe a Studio Day model would be particularly effective, as it would allow us to create the marketing, communications, and positioning infrastructure needed to support the initiative while also providing strategic guidance around sustainability and community engagement.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to customize the scope further to align with the goals of the grant and the vision for the program.
