Hello everyone,
Dashain is round the corner and here we are, on the other side of the globe
from our homeland. Well, there is nothing we can do about that but we
surely can have fun here with masu, bhaat, and momocha. After the grand
success
of the Dashain gathering last year and the year before at Swarthmore,
Nepalis at Swarthmore, Brynmawr and Haverford are hosting the Dashain-Tihar
gathering once again this year on October 11, 2003 and hope you will be able
to join us! The details are as follow:
Second Dashain-Tihar Gathering of all Nepalis in Pennsylvania
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
Date: October 11-12, 2003 (Saturday and Sunday)
Location: Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA. (11 miles outside
Philadelphia)
Transportation: There is a SEPTA train station right on campus. You will
have to take R3 going to Media/Elwyn. It takes about 20 minutes to get here
from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. There is a train every hour. For
detailed info on the SEPTA schedule and stops, you can visit
http://www.septa.org/riding/rail.html.The fare is $3.75 each way. If you let
us know what time you will arrive at Swarthmore, one of us will come to pick
you up at the train station. Swarthmore College is located at 500 College
Ave., Swarthmore, PA 19081.
Evening: We have planned a cook-out dinner. We have reserved a big dorm
kitchen that we used for the last two years' gathering. After dinner, we will
watch movies, make momo, listen to the rhythms, play Deusi, and of course
dance.
Dinner: This is going to be the biggest thing of the day. If you can help us
cook, that would be great. Or else, don't blame us if the food is bad!
Anyway, if you can, we would appreciate if you could come a bit earlier and
help us cook.
Accomodation: We have arranged accommodation at the college if people want
to stay overnight.
Sunday morning: We will cook lunch, continue having fun and disperse by the
afternoon, or earlier if people want to.
Money: You will be responsible only for your transportation to and from
Swarthmore. The rest is on us. We will be delighted to have you as guests!
Please forward this invitation to any college-going, fun-loving Nepali in
United States.

Cheers,
Nepalis at Swarthmore, BrynMawr and Haverford.
