<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=826570814-06122006>Vibewire has just launched
our first-ever public fundraising appeal and I'd love your support to make it a
success</SPAN><SPAN class=826570814-06122006><SPAN class=932405906-06122006>. As
an organisation without any core (or ongoing) funding we rely primarily on
grants to operate, but in order to continue to survive we need to fill the gaps
in-between and, like <SPAN class=291384514-06122006>most </SPAN>community
organisations, we require community support to do
this.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

has been able to achieve over the last few years, and with your help we can do
even more in the years to come. We have a great 2007 planned</SPAN>, <SPAN
class=291384514-06122006>including </SPAN>creating unique and engaging
youth-focused coverage of the 2007 federal election, opening the sQuareOne
media, arts and community space<SPAN class=490514305-07122006> in
Sydney </SPAN>, seeing Reelife Short Film Festival returning to Melbourne,
Canberra and Brisbane and <SPAN class=291384514-06122006>launching
</SPAN>the next Interface Anthology of new youth writing at the Sydney Writers
Festival in May next year. <SPAN class=291384514-06122006>But without great
support these projects will be put in doubt. In order t</SPAN>o get <SPAN
class=291384514-06122006>there </SPAN>and continue to create
these sorts of opportunities we need to diversify the sources of our
funding and be more proactive in fundraising. This is the important first
step in that direction.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
