Kitty is writing to Ricky about a mini-concert she is organizing at school. Read the e-mail.

Dear Ricky

　Thank you for your help. Our charity show was really a big success. Because of this success, our school decided to organize another event this June. I felt very glad that the Grade 8 students chose me as their representative.

　We have decided to organize a mini-concert, which aims to raise money for a charity. There are many things to do before the show. We have to decide the fees for the tickets and to collect donations from people who come to the concert. I am responsible for doing several duties. The representatives from the upper grades do more things. I have to design and give out leaflets to people and ask for their support. We hope that they will give some donations for our show. I also have to call the flower shop to send in flowers and arrange them in the theatre.

　We have a singing group in each grade and they will sing the most popular songs in our mini-concert. The host of the show is the captain of out school football team. Everyone has shown a lot of support for our show. I am sure the show will be a big success.

　The mini-concert is so meaningful. It is also fun. I hope you can come that night. I can buy a ticket for you. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love

Kitty
