Dear Script Frenzy Writer,

Hey there! My name is Chris, and I'm the Executive Director of the Office of Letters and Light, tiny-but-mighty nonprofit that runs Script Frenzy. The Frenzy rocked my writing world last year, and it's been difficult for me to sit out this year's Frenzy to focus on administrative projects.

The upside to missing out on this year's fun is that I've been able to put a lot of creative energy into serving as a cheerleader for Tavia and Jennifer as they work on their screenplays. I'm proud to say that my friendly support—along with intimations that staff coffee rations will be cut for underperforming scriptwriters—has everyone on track for complete victory.

But I'm not here today to talk to you about our staff's scripts. I'm here to talk to you about beans.

As the Executive Director, I'm the head bean-counter for Script Frenzy and Script Frenzy's Young Writers Program, responsible for making sure we raise the funds we need to pull off an inspiring and fun Frenzy for 8,000 adults and 700 kids and teens.

We fund our programs in a grassroots way. No advertisers. No entry fees. Instead, a couple times a year, we reach out to our kind-hearted participants with a request to chip in something to help us cover costs. Even a small amount has a huge impact. If every participant makes a tax-deductible donation of just US$10—the cost of a single movie ticket—we'll be in great shape.

Please take a moment to donate today. You can give online via PayPal or credit card, and find instructions for donating by check, in our secure Donation Station and Store.

You can also have someone donate on your behalf—just have them enter your Script Frenzy details in the online form when they make their donation. While you're in the Donation Stat ion, be sure to click on the Store tab to behold our fine array of Script Frenzy merchandise. Proceeds from store sales go directly to our adult and youth programs.

Thanks so much for keeping the Script Frenzy writing revolution alive, and best of luck to you in the second half of the Frenzy. Remember: You're a hero for making it this far. Write on!

Lots of Frenzied love,

Chris Baty
The Office of Letters and Light
