A letter is circulating the area, asking for help in nominating the Schrauger family for help from a national television program.
We’ve attached the letter, from Diane Winter at LOHS…
Dear Lake Orion Community,
Several people have come forward with the idea of nominating the Schrauger family for the television program ‘Extreme Home Makeover.? The community has been extremely generous and giving during this past week.
What I am asking you to do, if you are willing, is write a letter to ‘Extreme Home Makeover? to be included with the eighteen page application we are completing. We would box your letters along with a video tape, news clips and newspapers to catch the attention of the program family casting crew.
We can think of no more deserving a family than the Schraugers. Won’t you please help?
Guidelines:
1. Write a brief letter explaining that you think the family is deserving of this opportunity.
2. Place it in a white envelope (no stamps needed).
3. Address the envelope to: Lock and Key Productions, c/o Family Casting, P.O. Box 38670, Los Angeles, CA 90038. (You may include your return address for emphasis)
4. Return to Diane Winter, Key Club advisor at the high school, on or before Monday October 15.
