I was asked by Joe Lara with the Queens Film Festival to post this as a community service...The 6th Queens International Film Festival’s will be held from Thursday November 6th to Sunday November 9th, 2008. QiFF 2008 film lineup will includes over 100 films. The festival film selection will be presented at The Crowne Plaza LaGuardia in Queens.
The Queens International Film Festival is proud to present our first annual "Celebration of Queens Arts" on November 7, 2008.The event is going to be completely FREE of charge to the public and includes:
- A live concert by the Queens Symphony Orchestra Playing the Most Celebrated Film Scores of the 20th Century.
- A silent auction and exposition by the Alliance of Queens Artists.
- A book signing by Tony "Nap" Napoli - Author of the new bestseller "My Father, My Don"
-Plus much more to be added!
In order to put this celebration together, we need to raise $15,000. I would like to ask all of your help in accomplishing this. No matter how big or small you can donate, all donors will be put on the official banner for the event, and will receive a special "Thank You" gift.
I believe in leading by example however, so on behalf of Forest Hills Celebrity & Entertainment Magazine and JML Media Group, LLC, I will be the first to commit $500 towards our goal.
Thank you all so much for your time and consideration and I wish you all my best,
