How to make a schedule for Debbie Hopkinson's visit
It made me
Very Happy 
"I had a great time planning a family literacy night for my school."
How I did it: The first thing I did was risk someone saying no. I emailed the author to ask if she was available for a family literacy night.
She responded in approximately 5 minutes and said YES!
I found the funding for the evening.
I rallied the troops to help. I asked the parent group to support the idea by buying the books so that each family could have a free one to take home.
I ordered the books from an independent bookstore in McMinnvile - 3rd St. Books
Everything went great - there were a few minor adjustments.
I am ready to begin planning the next one.
Lessons & tips: JUST ASK!!
Resources: Third St. Bookstore in McMinnville. Or. Just speak to Anna
