Dear Shamala,
I have been meaning to write and thank you for organising such an interesting event. It must have taken a considerable amount of effort on your part and I hope you feel it was a great success. I certainly do. Not only were the talks interesting and informative (and in some cases quite shocking – so glad I don’t eat meat!) it was really encouraging to meet so many like-minded people. If you think it would help, next year I will try and drum up more support.
