- Some people from Asha-MIT are talking with Zakir Hussain about charges and
   other related issues.
- IGSA is organizing a concert by Shafatullah Khan in March.  It was decided
   that Asha will help them out with it - mainly, the publicity.  There was 
   some discussion about possible venues for the concert.  Music Hall and
   Vilas Commn. Hall are 2 possible venues.  [ The Mem. Union Theater is booked
   all thru' March. ]  If these on-campus sites don't work out, then, West End
   High School (where the TNK concert was organized) is another possibility.
- DP had sent out a mail about the Asha '99 conference and whether we would
   be able to host it at Madison.  However, it was decided that it is probably
   not a good idea to do it here since we don't have the necessary resources
   to pull it off.
- It was decided that a couple of people will meet the Peace Corps folks at
   one of their information seminars at Memorial Union when they are on campus  
   between Feb 9th-11th.  [ The Returned Peace Corps of Wis. have contributed
   towards the funding of the Swanirwar project. ]
- Regarding T-shirts, there were some ideas about how to go about it.
   o Ashutosh mentioned that, at IIT-Bombay, St. Xaviers' College, Bombay,
      during the cultural festivals, there are some art design contests.  He
      brought up the possibility of getting them to have a competition for
      a T-shirt design, but with a theme that we are interested in.  Ashutosh
      will explore this possibility.
   o Vidya will contact people with the Arts Center here about whether they
      can help us out with this.
   o Annapurna mentioned that she knows someone at NIFT in India and she'll
      contact him if he could possibly come up with a design for us.
   However, we need a theme on which the design will be based.  Literacy and
   education is what it'll be.  However, if anyone of you have more specific
   ideas, please do send a mail to "sastry@cs.wisc.edu"
- Charu volunteered to speak with some Indian families over here (that she
   knows) about how they could be involved with Asha and its activities.
