Hi everyone,
It has been a few months since our last Austin chapter event and our upcoming event is the biggest we have thrown yet! The theme is Indian Nights and all money raised will benefit Room to Read's programs in India. Please check out our facebook (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=142786531016) and evite (http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/OAJMHCJJSMSQSLGGKSRV/IndianNights) invites and pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.
More details:
What: Indian Nights, Benefiting Room to Read - India and the Room to Dream campaign
When: Thursday, October 15, 2009 from 6 to 10 p.m.
Where: Clay Pit, 1601 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX
Cost: $40 per person. Includes a donation, entertainment, and food.
Dress: Cocktail or traditional Indian attire encouraged
The night will start off with Indian folk music by renowned Austin-based musician Oliver Rajamani and a performance by Austin Dance India. To keep up your strength for a long night of fun there will be a hands-on grilling station for kabobs, various contemporary Indian appetizers and desserts, and a cash bar featuring event-themed cocktails. The entry fee of $40 covers your appetizers, entertainment, and a generous donation to Room to Read’s programs in India. (75% of the cash bar will also benefit Room to Read so come hungry and thirsty!) We are also excited about the many silent auction items that will be available including an original print of Ray Charles by a local artist, a massage gift certificate, original artwork from Nepal, and a football signed by Hall of Fame players.
As we have limited space, tickets must be purchased in advance at www.roomtoread.org/austinoctober09event. Please contact me for more information. You can also visit roomtoread.org for more info on the group.
Best,
Peggy & the Room to Read Austin chapter
