June 17, 2003

Dear Youth Festival Partners,

I am writing this letter to inform you that we have decided to reschedule the date of the 2003 Youth Festival which is scheduled for this Saturday June 21st at the Los Angeles Convention Center until fall 2003.

We know you have worked hard to prepare for your workshop(s) and on the Youth Festival committee to prepare for this event, and we apologize for any inconvenience this change of date may have caused your organization.

The reason for the date change is that there is an adult oriented event taking place at the Convention Center on the same day as the Youth Festival and there will be people attending who would pose a security risk to the 2,000 children attending our event.

Although we were aware that this event was running simultaneously with the Youth Festival, we only recently became aware of the heightened security threat the children attending the event would be potentially exposed to. It is not a risk we need to take.

Therefore, we are rescheduling the Youth Festival at the Los Angeles Convention Center for some time in October or early November and would love to have your organization conduct the workshop you were planning on doing this Saturday.

Again, we are sorry about this change in date and do hope you can join us in the fall. We will be sending you updated information about the new date of the event soon.

Thank you in advance for your understanding. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at:
310 / 665-0888 ext 16

Sincerely,


Jack Pinnock
