Minutes:
Dear Friends,
We had an unscheduled meeting on wednesday, June 11 at Brew HaHa coffee
shop. This meeting was intended to initiate the discussion regarding the
Annual Fund Raiser.
- Sowmya, Manoj, Dhiman, Suddha, Prathap, Chandra, Dr.Sarkar, Swapnil,
Shabista, Greeshma, Ranjani, Neelima, Janardhan and Pradyu attended
the meeting.
- Sowmya initiated the discussion with Salil chowdhary's proposal of tagging
up with Indo American Association for organizing the event. As per the
proposal, the funds will be raised as a joint effort and the proceedings
will go to Asha Delaware
- We doiscussed many pros and cons of the discussion. like this is going to
create a long term Donor Data base, Lessening of the burden of the
volunteers, and the cons being affecting the quality of the performance
since these are all new artists with no experience at all and that too after
very professional swarasandhya. there were concerns if the singers could
actually handle the crowd
- Then we discussed if there are any other possibilities like a classical
dance or any other such event.
- Finally we decided that we are going to have 2 fund raisers, one being organized
by asha delaware and the theme of the show is going to be somewhat similar
to that of swarasandhya and another fund raiser co-organized by Indo
American Association
This is a picture of the meeting that went on

This ends the meeting. Friends, we have a good volunteer power. We have 14 volunteers
who attended the meeting. The enthusiasm of the volunteers in the meeting is
encouraging us to work harder for the noble cause
Thank you,
Prathap Pasuparthi
