Dear Host Committee 

Thank you very much for your support.  As you have no doubt heard
President Lula has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun treatment
this week - as a result he has withdrawn from participating in GFI's
event.  We are surely very disappointed but understand his decision. 

We nonetheless have a wonderful event planned and have nearly reached
our goal of raising $100,000.  If you go to the website
www.fairnessaward.org you will see that local anchor Maureen Bunyan will
host the event, and we have fantastic entertainment than includes
Peruvian dancers in honor of our award recipient along with two
outstanding jazz entertainers.  

This week we are asking for one last push for possible sponsors and VIP
tickets!  I know you have all done a great deal to help GFI reach this
goal and on behalf of the Board and the staff I thank you. 

If you would like to invite people to the VIP reception and the event as
a way to introduce them to GFI please let Aalap know and he will follow
up directly with you.  Aalap also needs to know your planned attendance
at the VIP reception and the event.  Caleb is holding VIP seats for each
of you and your party - we want to make sure we get the numbers right so
Aalap will be contacting you directly. 

Thank you again for your support and assistance. 

I look forward to seeing you on the 8th of November. 

Warmest regards, 

Karen

Hello Host Committee:

After some thought, we have decided to cancel this call tomorrow and
give each of your 30 minutes back. But I will be in touch with each of
you individually (via email) over the next few days. 

Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience. 

Warm regards,
