~~The Institute of Outdoor DramaCB# 3240, NationsBank PlazaChapel Hill, NC 27599-3240(919) 962-1328 Fax: (919) 962-4212September 18, 1995Ms. Marsha Warren, Executive DirectorThe Paul Green FoundationP.O. Box 2624Chapel Hill, NC 27515Dear. Marsha:As you know, the PG Foundation generously allocated $2,500 to assistin meeting expenses involved in producing the Paul Green Seiminars atthe 1995 Conference on Outdoor Drama, October 28, 1995. When we firstbegan to plan the siminars, I suggested that this money be used tohelp meet travel expenses of those individuals who would be participatingin leadership roles of the seiminars. You agreed this was a good plan,and so we have been operating accordingly.I have asked 10 people to participate in those leadership positions.With a $2,500 budget, we could pay each person $250. I have writteneach person explaining what their responsibilities will be duringthe seminars and to expect a $250 check from the PG Froundation whichshould be used to help meet travel expenses.Of these 10 people, four will be traveling at the expense of theircompanies:Fred ChappellNeil Hessscott RayWilliam HardyActually, I can't sware that each company will be meeting espenses tosend those four individuals, but I feel fairly sure they will. You willsee that I have suggested that these people sign those $250 checks overto their companies, and I have copied the general managers of theircompanies in an effort to make sure all comes out as it should.Two other people will also be traveling at the expense of their companiesI suspect:Jokn AhartGayle Bowling

Those two people also serve as general managers of their companies, andso I see no reason to send them a copy of correspondence that they willalready be receiving. There are no built in checks and balances forthese people. I trust they will sign over the $250 checks to theircompanies if their companies are indeed meeting their expenses.The other four people will not be having their expenses met by anycompany and they can just go ahead and cash their own checks.While this may sound somewhat complex, I elected:to do it this way tokeep it simple for you. All you need do is send each of these individualsa check for $250. If they need to sign them over to their companies,its up to them to do so. In most cases their general managers willknow this should be done. Only in two cases will there be no checkor balance. But, I don't think there will be a problem.Everything is coming together and I think its going to be a splendidset of seminars. I am so confident good things will be said duringthem, I am going to make arrangements to have the comments recorded,transcribed, duplicated for distribution as the IOD sees fit, and thata full page story be published in U.S. Outdoor Drama which reports onPatiwhat sonnyThanks so much for all your help with this.pastas Pm_ Sincerely ,¥W)CeCe wsDirectorJust realized one exception to the distribution of checks:I did not mention anything about a $250 check in Fred Chappell'sletter. The Lost Colony will be meeting his expenses to travelto the conference, but when I struck the deal for Fred to cometo the conference with him and his general manager, Jon Summerton,I stated that the PGF would kick in $250 to help meet expenses, andthat this check should go directly to the general managers of thecompany, with a note explaining what it is for. So, if you wouldmake that one exception, I would be grateful.Thanks
