RE: Request Waiver/Refund
Dear Mr. Jeffries,
We respectfully request a refund of fees paid for our annual Farmer's Day celebration.
Our event is 105 years old this year and we are hoping for a banner year. However,the
past two years have been incredibly difficult as the event was practically rained out in
2015 and last year the State of Emergency regarding Hurricane Matthew caused us to
move the event until late in November. Both years could not be considered successful
after all the figures were balanced. This has caused a hardship for our Chamber.
We are a 501c(6) Membership Organization and we depend on this event to help
sustain our programs and our staff. We are the smallest Chamber of Commerce in
Harnett County, which is also not easy to overcome. Please consider giving us a refund
this year. In addition, please consider waiving or drastically reducing our fees for future
events; it would help us so much.
Respectfully submitted with sincerity,
74-(///464%---/
