FYI: ================================================== Dear friends: On behalf of Chicagoland Nepali Pariwar, I would like to invite you to attend the ANMA-NASeA Joint Convention over the Labor-day weekend (Sept 2 – 4, 2006) in Rosemont, IL (Chicago suburb). This is the annual convention of the prominent Nepalese organization in North America, and expecting attendees from all over the United States, Canada, and representatives from Europe. ANMA & NASeA partnership began last year, and the plan to expand further continues, as we strive for one Annual Joint Convention in North America. The primary purpose of this annual gathering of Nepalis and friends of Nepal in cities across the US & Canada is to further the cause of keeping our Nepalese heritage and traditions alive in the Nepali Diaspora. This is the sixth annual convention in Chicago, and with the rising Nepali population of Chicago we expect this convention to be very well attended. We are planning for a grand Cultural Program on Saturday evening, and therefore, would like to invite artists/bands in your community to perform. We are also hosting a soccer & basketball tournament, and extend invitation to your local teams as well. Please email your comments/inquiries to: convention@cnpariwar.org I will look forward to meeting you at the convention. Thank you kindly. Best regards, Sanjay Shrestha Convention Chairman Enclosure: Joint Convention 2006 details. ================================================
