First off, as I said on the phone, I personally love what you and Sandra are doing <br />with the film festival. I think it a great cultural opportunity for the community and the Downtown. <br />That being said, and as much as I believe in your festival, at this time I are not prepared to contribute to the <br />series due to Sandra's attack of Downtown Inc. Downtown Inc. has done countless things to improve the <br />Downtown as well as assist Sandra with some of her previous events. While Sandra may not agree with <br />everything that has occurred she continues to bash the organization but also asks for money. She is free to say <br />and do whatever she wishes but needs to realize there are repercussions for her actions, and in this case, not <br />getting our contribution. As I mentioned to you, I am the President of Downtown Inc. and will not give money <br />to a person or organization that personally attacks me, Downtown Inc., or anyone connected to it. <br />Hopefully over time Sandra will realize the benefit of Downtown Inc. and how much it is helping Downtown <br />thrive and grow. I am not ruling out contributing money in the future as I truely like everything about the <br />event but at this time do not feel right giving money to someone who is publicly bashing an organization I <br />believe in and am a part of. In the future, it would also be beneficial to get the sponsorship info much earlier, as <br />its hard to give money for something with less than a week notice. <br />Thank you for your understanding, and hopefully next time we speak there are changed circumstances. <br />Ryan Chase <br />S & A Properties <br />129 W.

Please find attached our request for support of the OC Film Fiesta's <br />Jewish Latino Celebration as well as an invitation to the event, which takes place Sunday, Sept. 9, from 1-6 pm <br />at 211 N.

I am also attaching a copy of our sponsor levels in case you <br />would like to consider another level of support. <br />We hope that you will consider being a part of this important event.
