Greetings!
Today is 9-11
Take a moment to remember!
MULLIGANS STAR CHARLIE DAVID
SPECIAL APPEARANCE AT TAPELENDERS
Friday, Sept. 18
TapeLenders is pleased to announce a special visit by Charlie David... the well known hunk who has starred in Dante's Cove, A Four Letter Word, and most recently, Mulligans. In the story (Mulligans), Tyler Davidson invites his college buddy Chase (Charlie David) home for the summer holidays and a secret is revealed that threatens to tear his perfect family apart. "We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the Cedar Springs community and the long time customers of TapeLenders since we took ownership the first of August, " says new owner and manager Mark Milburn. "When we were approached by Charlie to host a DVD signing we could think of no better way to give back to his fans than to say yes."
Fans of Charlie David are invited to come to TapeLenders, 3926 Cedar Springs Road, and meet Charlie and have their Mulligans DVD signed between the hours of 7 P.M. and 8 P.M., Friday, September 18th.
