Thank you again for your sponsorship and support for the recent benefit concert at the
playhouse for the people of Haiti. As organizers, we found it extremely helpful when you
cheerfully agreed to accept half of the costs for this event, so that we did not have to use any of the donations at the door to cover expenses. As I mentioned, the audience donated $4244, which when matched by the federal government as promised, meant that $8,488 would be used to benefit the people in Haiti. According to the CBC TV news, there are 2 million people in need of food, and 1 million of those are homeless. The crisis is enormous, but with your help through this concert the Red Cross was able to have more funds with which to help the people in need. Thank you for the coverage in The Citizen, which helped to almost fill the playhouse.
