RE: Elton's Dinner in London. Thursday, June 22nd,
Dear Rachael,
We just had the best time working with you, Paul, YouTube, and everyone else involved in Elton's lunch.
We thought the whole day accomplished exactly what you wanted, which is to put Elton's YouTube videos on the global entertainment radar.
I'm coming to London the end of June, and there's a possibility I will be there when Elton has his annual summer party.
Is it possible for me to get a ticket and come if I'm in town?
Looking forward to seeing you again.
xoxo,
Peggy Siegal
Dear Rachael,
I'm just checking in to see if you had the info on Elton's dinner?
Peggy is going to be in town from June 23ie-June 30th.
Let me know when you get the chance.
Hi Rebecca
I have looped in Glenn from EJAF to advise
Many Thanks
Rachael
Hi Peggy
The fundraising dinner is on at Elton and David's home on Thursday 22nd June. I think you might just miss the evening as you arrive on the 23rd June??
I can send you the booking forms etc if you can change plans. We are at capacity and operating waiting list so let me know as soon as you of your ticketing requirements etc.
Thank you!
Warm regards
Glenn Horder
Glenn, I am coming to London and having just helped on Elton's Utube launch in Cannes, was wondering if Elton is doing his dinner this year and when. Can you ask David Furnish if I can come?
Thanks so much.
xoxo Peggy Siegal
I would change my flight and come a day earlier. It would mean a lot to me.
Can you please tell me how much one seat is and possibly squeeze me in? I am sorry to be so late but my office has been emailing, probably the wrong people, for three weeks.
As mentioned, would love to see David and continue support after working on Cannes event.
Thank you in advance.
Peggy Siegal
Dear Peggy,
Thanks again for your email. We are currently operating a waiting list but will find a way of squeezing you in if you would like to join us.
Tickets are E10,000 each (or USD15,000 each if you wanted to take advantage of USD tax arrangements)
I have attached a little more information about the event below along with the booking form.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Warm regards
Glenn
Dear Peggy,
Sir Elton John and David Furnish at Home for the Elton John AIDS Foundation
THURSDAY 22nd JUNE 2017
Woodside Gallery, Woodside, Crimp Hill Old Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom
Our Woodside Gallery Dinner last year was a truly memorable event. With inspiration from the then U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and soaring arias from the magnificent Andrea Bocelli and Maria Aleida, plus mind boggling magic from Lior Suchard, all sewn together by our emcee David Walliams, it was one of the happiest evenings we can remember at our home.
This year's Woodside Gallery Dinner, with the generous support of our friends at BVLGARI, promises to be as magical.
We are so excited that legendary performer Joan Baez, who has not only created her own iconic classics, but has fabulously reinterpreted music by everyone from Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder to the Rolling Stones, Ryan Adams and Josh Ritter, will perform for us. Elton is looking forward to sharing a stage with her for the first time ever. The wonderful David Walliams will look after us as emcee and we have some very special VIP guests confirmed.
As well as being fabulous fun, events like the Woodside Gallery Dinner do so much good. You may remember a young man named Leslie who spoke at last year's event. When he was a child, Leslie's grandmother died of AIDS. He was at her bedside. Today, Leslie works to educate the LGBT community in South Africa about HIV. He travels to townships and slums, providing HIV testing and referring those who need it to clinics where they will not be shamed or turned away. Thanks to your generosity, this work has expanded to 200 clinics nationally. We visited one in July with the South African Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, who told us that the success of these services in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS is helping the South African government to now afford funding all medical HIV treatment for its people without external support.
Also last July, I joined HRH Prince Harry onstage at the International AIDS Conference in Durban to talk about the critical need to help adolescents living with HIV. We urged the international community not to give up on this precious group when we have had so much success fighting the epidemic amongst adults, mothers and babies. Reaching adolescents is our last huge global challenge in the fight against AIDS.
There are so many pressing issues that call for our attention today. I cannot tell you how grateful David and I and everyone at the Foundation are that you continue to share our passion and our vision for a future where AIDS is not something our children or our grandchildren will have to worry about. Healthy societies, at home and abroad, mean less instability or dependence on others. We believe it is not only possible but essential.
We do hope you will join us in June so we can continue the work of the Foundation. You can download your invitation to purchase tickets to this year's Woodside Gallery Dinner below.
With your support, we will fight the stigma, stop new infections and save countless lives.
In the meantime, if you need any further information on the Woodside Gallery Dinner, please do not hesitate to contact Glenn Horder at the Foundation as per contact details below.
With our warmest regards,

Hi agairEll
I just read the form attached, and it seems for US Tax payers they only accept payment via bank transfer.
Please see attached form. Is this something you can take care of on your end?
Let me know when you can!
Thanks again.
Best,
Rebecca
Yes! In fact my accounting dept already alerted me the funds need to go via wire. They will take care of it and put "Peggy Siegal" in the memo field so they know it is for her. Thanks so much!!
Wonderful, thank you!!! :)
