International Festival - celebration of all cultures

• a copy of IF 2004 budget (this gives you a rough estimate since you might organize the festival in a different way. Beware - your budget should be ready in November because it has to be included with the fundraising letters)
• a generic fundraising letter (this is how we approached the departments, if you would like to see the particular letters aimed at specific programs - please contact one of the IF '04 Co-Chairs and you will receive a complete file ? )
• a list of dishes and restaurants (this information can be used by the food-person to find out which international dishes were served in 2004 and where they came from as well as what kind of equipment was needed <ie. coolers, heating devices>)
• a floor plan of the food court (this is how Caroline Lau, our food master, organized the area, it worked amazingly well!)

Good luck!
