2009 Jackson Heights Film and Food Festival Regrettably Cancelled
The Community Journal regrets to inform you that the 2009 Jackson Heights Film and Food Festival, scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2009 is regrettably cancelled.
We were just informed that the Jackson Triplex Theater, the planned venue for this year’s festival has suddenly and unexpectedly closed for good. As there are no other venue options we unfortunately have no choice but to cancel the festival.
All payments made through the Jackson Heights Film and Food Festival website (via pay pal) shall be automatically refunded.
The scheduled ‘after-party’ at the restaurant Limoncello is not cancelled. Please join us on October 24, 2009 at 9:30 p.m. at Limoncello for food, fun and festivities! Limoncello is located at 40-39 82nd Street. There is no cost to join us at Limoncello, however, donations are welcome and appreciated. Please RSVP to communityjournal@gmail.com or 718-393-7711.
The Jackson Heights Film and Food Festival is a program of the non-profit organization the Community Journal and each year, scores of volunteers make the festival possible. The untimely and unexpected closing of the Jackson Triplex Theater comes at a great cost, financial and otherwise, to the organization, its volunteers and all the communities that we serve.
We thank you for your support and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at 718-393-7711 or communityjournal@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
The Jackson Heights Film and Food Festival Committee
