Dear friends and supporters of Lifestart Foundation,
Please mark your calendars for our very important
and exciting Fundraisers!

Lifestart Foundation Christmas in July
Dinner Dance And Silent Auction
Saturday 26th of July 2008

This event supports many of the Lifestart Foundation projects, including the Lifestart Foundation Free School. Last year we raised $19,312.00 aud! A fantastic total which enabled Lifestart to continue all its important work in Vietnam.

WHERE:
501 Receptions, 501 Barkly Street, Footscray, Melbourne
WHEN:
Saturday 26th July at 6pm for a 6:30pm Sharp Start
MUSIC:
Minute By Minute, A 7 Piece Band
DRESS:
Black Tie
COST:
$70 per person, Table of 10: $700, Table of 12: $840
INCLUDES:
3 Course Dinner, Wine, Beer & Soft Drink

Tickets are now printed and ready to go. I am happy to post the tickets to you this week. I think it is usually easier to sell the tickets if you have them in your hand. If you can email me with how many tickets you would like me to post out that would be great. Ticket money is due in by the first week of June, your help in getting the ticket payment in on time will also help tremendously. I leave for Vietnam on June the 12th and return to Melbourne just before the dinner dance, which doesn't leave me a lot of time for last minute organizing when I get back.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
35 people are needed to get tables of 10 or 12 together...

If you can help by getting a table of friends or family together this would be sincerely appreciated. We also need donations for our Silent auction. Again if you can help with goods or services that would be wonderful.

Note: Vegetarians can be catered for, however this must be stipulated when paying for the tickets. Variations on a Vegetarian menu unfortunately cannot be catered for.
