Feel free to cut and paste any of this information, or download any of the pictures from my site, to use for publicity.

Preparation for the Event:
Once you have chosen a topic and we have confirmed a date, here is some additional information to help you prepare. I am so excited to come alongside you and serve!
- I will email you a copy of the information you filled out on my “Speaker Inquiry” form, so that we can confirm important details. I will also give you my cell phone number, so that you can communicate with me by phone if you wish.
- I will email you my “Bio”, corresponding to the topic you have chosen. You may use this to introduce me if you wish.
- I will email you my “Outline”, corresponding to the topic that you have chosen. Please have your church/organization provide copies of my outline, one for each participant. The outline will include discussion questions and additional notes and song lyrics. Participants can take notes on the outline while I am speaking.
- I will email you “Details for Karen”. This document will include information regarding my preferences for microphone, stage set-up, recording, and book table. For example:
*my first choice for a microphone is an “over-the-ear” model and my second choice is a cordless handheld, but I am flexible with whatever you have.
*I would love a light podium or music stand to set my notes on, with a stool or tiny table nearby so that I can access water and additional materials easily.
*If you can do a video or audio recording, I’d love to have a copy, or with your permission, perhaps my husband could attend and record my message? If not, no worries!
*Is your church/organization comfortable with me bringing CD’s to sell, and if so, could you provide a small table where I could arrange them? Several of my talks include original music recorded by my friend Hannah Ford, and I have her permission to sing, play, and sell music from her 4 albums. Check out her web site at: hannahford.com and let me know. If not, no worries! - Confirming that I do not charge a Speaking Fee for MOPS groups, as I consider this my ministry—a way to “give back” to an organization that has been very meaningful to me.

Looking forward to serving you and your group!
