On
numerous occasions, we have been asked, "How does a person, Group
or Convention Committee go about setting up a Back to Basics
Workshop, Seminar or Conference."
Actually, it is quite simple.
All that is required is the willingness to do a little planning
and to spend a little time organizing the event.
Telephone,
fax or e-mail Faith With Works Publishing Company and tell us when
(the date) and where (church, club, school auditorium, etc.)
you would like to hold your event, and who the contact person
is. Our only requirements
are that the location be non-smoking and have a screen or bare
wall to project 35 mm slides (Back to Basics is a slide
presentation.). We will
check the Back to Basics schedule and if the date is open, we
will pencil your event in as a "tentative" booking.
Once you have received the necessary approvals from your Group
or Committee, please confirm your request for a Back to Basics
presentation in writing. At
that time we will change the booking from "tentative" to
"firm."
If you
would like James H. (sobriety date 12/12/34) to be a part of the
Workshop, Seminar or Conference, please let us know that also.
Because of his age (96 years old), we are booking James H.
only on special occasions and limiting his involvement to a couple of
hours a day. (As of
December 2001, James has retired from public speaking except for
events in the Baltimore MD area.)
Once the details have been worked out, we ask that you send us a flyer
for the event and keep us posted on any changes that may take place
(location, time of day, etc.). We
will post the flyer on our website page titled "Upcoming
Events." In
addition, we will mail five copies of the flyer to everyone in the
area of the event that is a Back to Basics and/or How to
Listen to God supporter.
There
are no fees for a Back to Basics Workshop, Seminar or
Conference. All we ask is
the standard reimbursement for airfare, food, lodging (we prefer to
stay in someone=s home) and incidental expenses (airport parking,
tips, copying costs for the eight Back to Basics handouts,
etc.).
These
costs are normally covered by either passing the basket or by charging
a nominal admission fee. Many
Host Groups and Committees also sell the Back to Basics and How
to Listen to God books to cover expenses.
We provide the books on consignment at our cost (one half the
retail price), and the Host Group or Committee keeps the difference
between the selling price and the cost.
If
you have any questions or need more information, contact Wally P. at
the office address, fax number or email address listed below.
