"Celebrating Life In Recovery Commercials"
Hi Jim,
Your voice must fit our network or just suits my ear because I picked you out twice for spots! Just letting you know that I'm considering you for our Station IDs. You read several commercials for us for Celebrating Life in Recovery. I've never had so many comments on a program before - it's a big hit! Thanks for all the work you did - perhaps we'll be working together again!
