Acquisition of the WAMEDA Library
We welcome your donations to our Library Re-acquisition Fund! We have a wonderful opportunity to re-acquire WAMEDA’s original library, if only we can raise the funds necessary to purchase it. The library contains videos of WAMEDA events, plus our collection of classic belly dancing videos. We need your help! Your tax-deductible donations — in any amount — will help us reach our goal of $3,600.00. Donations will be used for the sole purpose of acquiring the library.

Message from the Former President of WAMEDA

RE: Re-acquisition of WAMEDA Library
Dear Friends and WAMEDA Members,
The time has come for WAMEDA to take advantage of the opportunity to re-acquire WAMEDA’s original library. Many WAMEDA members look forward to being able to, once again, watch the videos of WAMEDA’s many years of joyous dance events as well as its collection of classic belly dancing videos. The library also gives new dancers an opportunity to understand who the dancers are that many of the experienced dancers talk about.
WAMEDA does not have enough funds to purchase the library, so I am writing to ask for your help. I hope we can count on you for a generous donation of $75 or more. However, any donation amount is welcomed. The donations will be used for the sole purpose of acquiring the library. WAMEDA’s goal is to raise $3,600.00. Please help WAMEDA reach that goal with your tax deductible donation.
WAMEDA’s past successes have been possible because of the support of the belly dancing community. I thank you for your past support and thank you in advance for your support of the re-acquisition of the WAMEDA Library.
Sincerely yours,
Patrice LeBlond
Former President of WAMEDA 2011
