I am pleased to announce that the 2nd annual VCU Holi festival is confirmed for Friday, March 21st at the Cultural Center of India. The event will be sponsored by Indian Cultural Organization, South Asian Students Association, Hindu Students Council, and United Skih Association.
Upto this point, we have confirmed that VCU, William and Mary, Virginia Tech, University of Maryland, and UVA�s Acapella group �Ek Taal� will be performing. A variety of other schools along the eastcoast are invited and may also perform. The event is a formal function and will consist of a cultural show followed by a formal dinner (*Black Tie) and then followed by an After-Party at the Cultural Center of India itself. There will be a cash bar open to anyone with proper ID. Because the event is not funded by the school, ticket prices will be $15. This includes admission to the show, dinner, and admission to the After-Party DJed by D.C.�s Dynasty.
All the proceeds will go directly to the City of Joy Medical Education and Relief Project. We expect a larger turnout than ever witnessed before at a VCU Desi function (hopefully at least 400-600 people). We would greatly appreciate your support for this event and any other help you may kindly offer. Thank you for your time.

Fundraising PARTY at Richmond's Hottest Night Club Secrets in the City (2001 East Franklin Street, Richmond, Virginia). Please contact Hannah for more information.
Only $3 cover includes: hors d'oeuvres, huge dance floor, popular local DJ (taking all music requests), and a cash bar.
Because of the low admission price of only $ 3, which includes hors d'oeuvres and DJ, a large turnout is necessary for this event to be successful. So please try to bring all friends and family members that have a 21+ I.D.
Please remember that all proceeds will be directly used for providing free medicine, medical supplies, and healthcare to the indigent population in India. We would greatly appreciate any additional dollar(s) that you may donate, in addition to the admission price, to help and support our cause.
So come join us for a great time and show your support!
