INVITATION…

… to be part of your Pride Festival  PATTAYA GAY FESTIVAL 2007

2006 was another great, fun packed year that raised B3,428,440 for local charities. Who can forget the fabulous closing street party,
 or the gourmet dinners provided by the best restaurants in Jomtien and Pattaya? Once again the main beneficiary was Heartt 2000
to help provide HIV treatment. (Full details on the website www.pattayagayfestival.com)

But of course sadly that is not enough, the fight against HIV must go on, and there are many other local causes that also deserve support.

We need YOUR support to continue the good work.

This year will follow the successful format of previous years but we have introduced three levels of membership; please see the attached application form that has all the details.  New events are also being introduced, so keep checking back with the website
www.pattayagayfestival.com for up to date information.

Any member is welcome to organize an event on behalf and under the auspices of the PGF. Your event can be held at any time of year, and the total and funding of holding such events is the full responsibility of the member, and in particular:

1. Prior notification of the date and type of event to PGF for approval and to ensure that there are no competing events.

2. Monies received for the PGF must be paid over to the PGF treasurer within 7 days of the event

3. All publicity should include the phrase “proceeds in support of PGF charities” and sponsors of approved events are
required to use the PGF logo.

Self sponsored and new ideas by members always welcome! When arranging your event contact either
Glen Campbell (085 805 7003) or Chris Munnerley (081 590 0570) who are this years event co-ordinators.
Full Guidelines for Hosting Events are available from Chris as above.

The PGF logo CANNOT be used by members for any purpose other than fund raising for the PGF or advertising PGF approved events. For benefits of being a PGF member please see below.

Financial Report for 2006 Approved by Committee and Signed by Chairman and Accountant.

Total income for the financial year ending 31 December 2006 was Baht 3.7 million, which exceeded the target by Baht 700,000.

Compared to last year the total income was lower by Baht 98,000, which was an excellent result as there were five fewer events. 35% of the total income was earned in the final festival weekend in December. Other events of note were the opening street party and the first dinner at Bruno’s, which raised a further 35%. 

Membership Fees were Baht 295,000 representing 32 members, on target for 2006. This nearly covered the cost of running the events, raffles, advertising and printing for all the PGF promotions during the year. An additional once off cost of Baht 50,000 was incurred in response to a request for assistance from the local police.

Administration fees were zero for the year and 99% of total income was available for donation to worthy causes as Membership fees covered most of the cost.

 HEARTT 2000 was the only beneficiary during 2006, receiving a total in excess of Baht 3.6 million.

 The Bank Balance at 31 December 2006 was Baht 2.8 million, which secures the contributions to HEARTT 2000 until end November 2007.
