High School Presentation

[historybuff22]

Congratulations! Through my nonprofit I have several outreach programs and have five different presentations centering around the Lincolns and the Civil War. Each presentation is geared towards a different grade/age level. 3rd through 7th, 8th through 12th etc. I do not charge for my presentations to schools. While I have been requested to speak at schools 300 miles from my home, I am unable to secure any bookings in my local area. I have given presentations at schools in Springfield and Waukegan, Illinois, and New Haven, Ohio (about half way between Toledo and Columbus, Ohio.) I've mailed letters and DVDs with condensed versions of my presentations to 50 school principals in my area. While giving presentations to SUV (Sons of Union Veterans) groups I've given out the same DVDs to any kids or teachers in the audience. I've even had appointments with various Superintendents of school districts within 50 miles of my home. While the Superintendents rave about my offer, I still have not had any bookings less than 300 miles from my home. The grass is always greener on the other side? Any suggestions on how to achieve any school bookings in my local area - Lansing, Michigan?

Thanks for letting me vent.
