Dear Festival Supporters with
Discriminating Taste -
Thanks (hopefully once again) for supporting this years SLAM Festival. We have
thrived primarily because of your loyal support. On August, 28, 2005, we look
forward to introducing you to an exciting array of artists and speakers.
As we complete our 3rd year, this message marks a landmark for our growing
Festival. During the past years, our mission was to bring only the best of the
best in cultural expression. As always, the Festival is Free to the public with
performances from a number of accomplished artists from our community.
The wonderful SLAM Festival preserved here in Salt Lake City is an event that
has been sorely needed in the global landscape of distrust among human beings.
Folks (hopefully like you), who have become regulars at the event, and those of
you who plan on attending this years Festival will help develop a continuing
tradition to promote diversity. Your support helps fuel our environment where
the pursuit of pure and honest interaction among people of all ethnic and racial
backgrounds are deeply valued and recognized.
If you have been to our previous Festivals, and would like to invite others out
to the event, you already know that we believe WORD OF MOUTH is the most
powerful form of marketing. Accordingly, if you like what you see on our
pictures from 2003 and 2004. PLEASE DON'T MISS SLAM FESTIVAL 2005!
Thanks again !!!!!! Please help spread the word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Your friends
SLAM Festival Family
The festival celebrates the American ideals of diversity, inclusion, and
tolerance by presenting the most diverse set of talented high class cultural
performers and vendors. The festival is first and foremost a free fun family low
cost celebration with Islamic values in mind such as availability of ‘halal’ food
and an alcohol free environment where Muslims can meet each other and the
community at large.
