Aren't you the same guys who organized "Mitho Bhetghat" during ANA last year ?
Yes, a few of us on our SummerFest did organize Mitho Bhet-Ghat.

How come you're not organizing any such event or any "dating event" for young professionals ?
We are organizing FREE Professional/Social Networking event open to ALL this year. 
We want to raise money for the Butterfly Home project on behalf of Early Development Child Center Team and Pushpa Basnet - attendees can donate any amount they wish. 100% proceeds will go towards benefiting ECDC. Please visitwww.ecdc.org

I am pretty sure there are tons of young proessionals in the area who would like to attend such event, maybe ?
We think so too. Young professionals want to meet other like-minded professionals and there is need/want for this in our community. Some people are little hesitant to be seen as single and going to singles only speed-dating event. For some reason, they view it as being seen "desperate" in-front of other people. Overall, we received overwhelming support from people from all ages last year.

If it ("Mitho bhet ghat") was such a big hit (that's what they said last year), why not at your own premises ?
Mitho Bhet-Ghat was def. controversial but we had a really fun, professional and easy going crowd. We were able to raise 1400 dollars benefiting Nepal Youth Foundation. 100% of all proceeds went to NYF. Please visitwww.mithobhetghat.com for more information.
This year - we want to open it to everyone  and not make it exclusive for singles. It would be fun for people to meet and mingle, make new friends, expand their social network, find new job leads or make new business connections - opportunities are endless. 

I think you guys should focus this program with a little different perspective than usual "DJ Night", "unplugged night", or any other "back to school night".
Why not doing different workshops or job outlook event by inviting different professionals who can give idea on how to hunt job, skills needed etc.
 
Yes, we realize that a few of our programs sounds pretty familiar but  you will find lots of new things incorporated and we will maintain quality. We are also promoting emerging artists in our community who are looking for platform to showcase their talents. 
One of the many workshops we are doing this year and this year is - 
 
Non-Profits Synergy (Presentation)  followed by Non-Profits Networking Event to join us in the movement of educating and raising awareness in our community on various  social, health, gender and economic issues.

Non-Profits Organization participation: GMIN, ECDC, CYF, Help Nepal Network, Adhikaar, EDWON, Friends of Nepal, Nepal ko Yuva, Committed and KIVA. We gave 10 free booths to selected non-profits.
