Name Correction Please

Hello,

I was very pleased to attend the press conference for the AIFF unveiling of the new logo. It was very exciting, however I see from your very nice website that I am in one of the group photos on the left as “Joyce James.” Due to no fault of yours, this is my 2nd community event that I’ve attended and my name was listed incorrectly. At your convenience, please correct to read as “Joyce Jones” as I would like to send a copy to my son in Gainesville. He enjoys short stories and films. (It was located on your “News Reel.”)

Thank you and my thanks to Tony McAdoo for inviting me. I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Amelia Island Jazz Festival and I was fortunate to meet him at the Hampton Inn & Suites.

Good luck on this venture.

Joyce A. Jones

DEAR FRIENDS OF THE AMELIA ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL 2007-2008:

Live-In Maid
(Cama Adentro)
Sunday, October 14th - 1PM
San Marco Theatre

Dora (51) is the maid of Mrs. Beba (59) and has worked and lived with her for 35 years. Beba used to be a well-to-do socialite but successive economic and personal crises have worn her out, reducing her to a purveyor of decadence. Nowadays she finds herself forced to sell door-to-door beauty products. Her thick gold earrings, and her maid, Dora, are the last bastions of a lifestyle of which she refuses to let go.

It is now that the sharpest aspects of their relationship come into view. Though doomed by class prejudices and abusive power codes there is also a bond cemented by mutual love from three decades of living together. Finally, Beba gets the money to cancel the debt and offers some cash in advance to make her maid stay. But Dora has already made up her mind. Dora leaves the apartment to live with Miguel, her weekend boyfriend, at her new home on the city outskirts. Meanwhile, at Beba's apartment, the energy, and telephone services are suspended due to lack of payment.
