Dear Friends of the Holistic Community,

We, Australia's Best Leadership Educators (ABLE), are happy to inform that we have officially taken over as owner of the Holistic Living Festival (HLF), its website and all related events. We would like to thank Neil for his outstanding effort in organising HLFs for 6 successful years, and we sincerely hope that we being ABLE, are able to bring it to greater heights starting with this upcoming, much improved 11 & 12 Oct'08 HLF!

For more information on ABLE, please refer to our "ABLE AU HQ News" section on this newsletter.

This new opportunity to serve the region's growing holistic and wellness industry is a challenge, but one that we gladly take up, in the hope of spreading the word and light further within the Asian countries. By virtue of our Australia's organisation being non-profit making, we see this upcoming Oct'08 HLF as an excellent opportunity to repay the loyalty of our huge base of regular HLF exhibitors and guests! ABLE is beefing up the marketing efforts, at a huge deficit, to address the primary issue of the dwindling crowd, and at the same time, providing more for the visiting guests.

Going forward, for future HLFs where there may be operating profit, the majority of such proceeds will be donated to local charitable organisation of our choosing. We hope to have your support in our little way of giving back to society.

Nancy, Raymond and I would like to extend our gratitude for your stanch support and interest in our newsletter thus far. While we see no need to charge a subscription fee in the near future, we will attempt to maintain or even better our content, with the end in mind clearly before us - be the region's definitive Holistic Living & Wellness channel and information source, thus serving the region's Holistic Community to the best of our ability! Know that we are ABLE!!

Enough about us, time for you to enjoy the slightly revamped content of our bi-monthly newsletter. Please feel free to give us your feedback at Ask_HL.Newsletter@holisticliving.com.sg.
