We have received the disappointing news that the Picnic and a Movie fundraiser for the Amelia Island Film Festival, originally scheduled for the 17th of October at the Florida House Inn, has been cancelled.

This was going to be an all comedy screening, including dinner prepared by Diane Warwick’s Chef and other special guests.

I had the opportunity to perform with the Fernandina Pirates Club for one of the events during the First Annual Amelia Island Film Festival and I can say from personal exposure, this is a great event hosted right here on Amelia Island. I am sure many more exciting fundraisers will be planned and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear about them.

Go ahead and clear you calendar now for February 25th- March 1st, 2010 for the 2nd Annual Amelia Island Film Festival. Che Cantrell has been named as the new Executive Director. If you would like to volunteer, contact Che at executivedirector@ameliaisland filmfestival or call her at (904) 753-0987.
