ok here is my 2 cents...as the nepali community in north america is getting bigger every day, may be we need to have ana convention held at two different venue (states, country, whatever) at the same time. so that it is catered for all nepalis from the southwest to the northeast. but i guess thats no different from all these other nepalis organizations doing their regional conventions....i guess the moral of story here is we can't make everyone happy no matter what we do. so if ana aint coming to a city near u, wait till next year or the year after or the year after or just go to the damn place where it is being held this year if u so desperately want to attend :p word!!!!!!
