***4. HELP US FUND THE 2K PROJECTOR. WIN SOMETHING.


We are so SO close, yet so far. Thanks to a GREAT deal from Light Iron here in Hollywood, we just bought a Christie 2K Digital Cinema Projector for the Gallery Theatre, where we hold all
of our monthly meets. Well, actually my credit card bought it.

This means no more fuzzy images when demoing software. This means crystal
clear and bright videos. This means you and anyone who rents the Gallery Theatre
can use this beast. Now we got to pay for it. Help us, please.

We have raised over $7,000.00 so far thanks to Adobe, DVCreators, DigitalFilm Tree and
members like you. We need less then about $500.00 more.

I’ve set up a donation page and if you donate $20.00 or more you are eligible to win a FULL
copy of DaVinci Resolve. We will hold a drawing 2 days after we reach our financial goal.

The whole story on this projector as well as a donate button can be found here;

http://www.lafcpug.org/projector.html

Please help us and donate what you can.

Thanks so much!
