JUNE 2008 NEWSLETTER PAGE 5 HAF needs YOU !!! Our publicity team will get us some ink in the local media to highlight our role in the Harmony Arts Festival. In addition we will send out e mails and/or postcards to our contact data base to increase the exposure and attendance at HAF. Our data base now has over 1150 unique contacts, most of which are from Peoples' Choice ballots gathered over the past few years. Thanks to Carole Wilson, Jayne St. John and the computer committee for entering this information into the website data base. However, if each member could also invite 10-20 people to see our Show at HAF we will have a very good chance of continuing or bettering our string of HAF successes. Please bring out the troops. · Submitted by, Larry Achtemichuk 604-926-9640 achtemi@grnaiL corn IN MEMORY: I am sorry to pass on to you the sad news of the passing of fellow NSAG member Joanna Walton, who joined our organization in 1985.
