First, locate
the name and phone
number of the
individual journalist
who is most likely
to be interested

listen/watch the

few weeks and
learn about the

Many journalists
have voice mail
to screen their
calls, so prepare
yourself to tell
your story succinctly
if you must talk
to a machine.
Script
Hello, this is
Glynna Bass.
I'm representing
the Goldcoast
Show Chorus of
Sweet Adelines
International.
I would like
to invite you
to our "Harmony
with a Heart Day"
press day on Wednesday,
January 31, at
(location).
Every year our
members present
to the Women's
Crisis Center
a large collection
of toiletries
we have collected
throughout the
year.
The chorus also
will donate a
percentage of
our profits from
the annual Singing
Valentines fund-raiser
to the Crisis
Center. We will
have a quartet
on hand to perform
an early Singing
Valentine.
Each Singing
Valentine is $35
and will be delivered
by one of our
quartets on February
13-14. To request
a Singing Valentine,
call 1-800-307-SING.
