On January 27, 2008, Aliza Weinman, our NYC representative for Island Aid and Adam Bailey, our recently returned Sweden representative for Island Aid will be hosting a benefit event at the Sage Theater, 711 7th Ave. (near 48th St) in New York City.
The multimedia event features a powerful and varied program of international entertainment, food, drink all set in a creative ambiance.
Island Aid has secured underwriting for this event from a source, who wishes to remain anonymous, but the underwriter has stipulated that all proceeds from ticket sales get forwarded for the specific purpose of financing Island Aid's new aid ship the KM Lautan Mega.
Tickets are $100 for a single, $150 for a couple, $300 for a table of six and two student tables for $120. Ticket purchase is covered under non-profit tax statutes.
Please be among those who support Island Aid in this essential program. Tickets can be purchased using the “Donations” link from the Island Aid website (please add your name clearly in the info box) or by emailing Ken, kenbarimurray@gmail.com

LAUTAN MEGA needs funding to operate and I would like to introduce a new piece of equipment we have just installed in the ENGINE ROOM. (our new working group where virtual & field volunteers meet and discuss ways to make Island Aid more effective and capable)
GiveStream is a new and unique on-line FUNDING GENERATOR. You can help Island Aid without spending anything at all just by telling others about our special ISLAND AID GiveStream page.
This elegant machinery puts ISLAND AID into the income stream of around 250 retail merchants, each of which generates a certain percentage as a donation direct to us following a successful purchase. The amount you will donate is stated transparently on every product purchase.
The ISLAND AID GiveStream Center also includes an easy to download toolbar with a built in product search engine for finding the very best deals by searching the web through Google, (all the while generating donations to the organization) You are not asked to do anything that you are not already doing every day…. just do it via our portal and help us without it costing you a cent.
If you tell enough other friends about this idea, ISLAND AID will be in a draw to be awarded upto $10,000 in matching donations from GiveStream.
Click here to make a difference from your own desktop just doing what you probably do many times every week.

After weeks of hard work, 10 Island Aid volunteer crew arrived in Bali at the end of a 1,000+ nautical mile voyage through eastern Indonesia. We are downloading images and preparing a journal for publication as soon as our team return home.
