1.  Indian Dance:  Melanie and I are writing to let you know that because of a incredibly low response to the Avonmore Does India event we must cancel it. 

As we mentioned earlier this month, we needed to sell a minimum of 30 tickets as of this week so we could honour our obligations for the preparation of the event.

For those of you who did purchase tickets we sincerely appreciate your commitment to the Friends of Avonmore.  You will be able to collect your money Monday, at the front desk with Kerry, after 1pm.

We are very disappointed that we find that lack of interest in an event has forced us to cancel before we incur financial costs after we have dedicated so many hours of our personal time.

Because of the very limited resources of the Friends of Avonmore, we will not be able to make any financial contribution to the Gardens of Avonmore.

2.  Fundraising:  Today we were asked for a donation to the Year 6 year-end gift. Unfortunately, we have had a very difficult time recruiting volunteers to assist with our three fundraising events; we do not have the funds to contribute to this programme.

3.  Summer Fair:  We sincerely hope that all the folks who signed up to help will honour that commitment.

We need your help in the preparation of the event.  This requires your attendance at our planning meetings and monthly FOA Meetings.
 
We sincerely hope that we can count on you for the summer fair before we find ourselves in the same position again.

4.  Without your help, interest and involvement, the Friends of Avonmore won't work.

Melanie and I intended to revive the Friends of Avonmore with your support.  It is grossly unrealistic to expect that only the two of us can continue with the Summer Fair preparations, or indeed the Friends of Avonmore.


Kind regards,

Melina & Melanie


The Friends of Avonmore
