Dear Friends, Greetings!
With a heavy heart, I regret to inform you that one of our members, Mr. Promod Sood, has lost his brother as a result of a heart attack. He was in England. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sood Family at this time of their bereavement.
Last Meeting: Holi festival was celebrated at the last meeting, where about 25 members were present. Ram Sahi and Jayanti Roy made presentations regarding how Holi is celebrated in various parts of India. Surprisingly (for me), Holi is mostly celebrated in North India, and is not a part of the culture in some South Indian states. There were a large variety of snacks and songs related to Holi and other themes, along with many good jokes as entertainment.

Considerations for Food Choices:
While entering your contribution to the lunch, please take into account what other people have already indicated to ensure a good variety in the food. This is to ensure that we are not getting four rice dishes or as many desserts.
RSVP:
In order to ensure that we have a balanced meal, please indicate your wishes preferably by 5 PM on Wednesday. This will allow time for any adjustments in the menu that may be desirable. As always, if you decide at the last minute to come or bring any guest please feel free, there is always enough food to go around.
Reducing Waste:
Everybody is requested to bring and use their own reusable dishes and take these back home for cleaning. We do have a limited supply of dishes for the guests.
Important upcoming Meetings:
None planned
Look forward to seeing you.
