=================================

Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues and Community,

I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to our 10th anniversary dinner banquet on Friday August 20, 2010 at the India Community Center Banquet Hall! With a capacity of 450 people, the Banquet Hall at the India Community Center is larger than our previous banquet at the San Jose City Hall Rotunda, which sold out! Pictures from our previous banquet can be found here: http://www.fedliondance.org/FEDLionDance8thAnniversary/index.html

A CELEBRATION OF ART AND CULTURE

Once again, our event will be showcasing our students to the public and their families with a full program of lion dancing, dragon dancing, and martial arts performances including M Team Tae Kwon Do Demo Team, a youth oriented and operated group that is fresh off competing in Dallas, Korea, and Egypt among many other places around the world. New to this year will be an art auction showcasing cultural art not only by our own students, but also by local guest artists.

THEME AND TICKETS

Our theme this year "Bridging Youth and Culture" continues in our celebration of youth professional lion dance only group founded and 501(c)3 incorporated by youth, but maintained with the support of our community.  Of course, one form of supporting our cause is actually attending our event.  Tickets are $50 per person, which is much cheaper than most non-profit benefit dinners. Special students rates are available $30 a ticket. Also, as a special offer, the first 150 guests to arrive for our dinner will receive a hanging lion head ornament perfect for car display.

For more ticket information, please contact Justin Sturm at din...@fedliondance.org 

SPONSORSHIP
Another form of support is also through sponsorship. We have several different levels of sponsorship and opportunities table sponsorships that can include special recognition, an ad in our program/promotional booklet and our organization website, and dotting of lion heads. A sponsorship package is attached. 

For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Steven Le at stev...@fedliondance.org

Help us spread the word to support local youth!  Most importantly, I would love to see you all at our event to support our local youth with this dinner banquet.
