Hi Sapac-ers,
Here are some details about the upcoming meeting Aparna mentioned in her e-mail today.
You've been thinking about getting involved...
You've been getting the e-mails for a while, and were waiting for a good reason to become active with SAPAC...
Well, here's a great chance to:
- make a difference in promoting harmony and democracy in India from Chicago
- learn what Desis in Chicago are doing to promote peace and pluralism in India
- participate in a nascent effort to join hands with a coalition of Desi organizations from the Chicago area
- meet people from SAPAC and other Desi organizations in Chicago
If you're interested, if you're curious, come to this Saturday's meeting... If you've never been to a Sapac event or meeting, this is an ideal place to get involved and meet fellow Desi progressives.
We'll be carpooling to the meeting from Chicago - let us know if you need a ride. E-mail us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] to RSVP or if you have any questions.
On Saturday, November 8, 2003, 11 AM to 3 PM at the Darien Public Library (directions below)
