Hello All,

Please mark your calendars for upcoming Diwali celebrations on evening of 7th Nov 2009. Columbus Maharashtra Mandal cordially invites you to join us for a get together with activities for all ages.

Traditionally we have encouraged local talent to take charge of stage. At the upcoming Diwali program, we would like to extend the invitation to performers of all ages to showcase their talent. In this Vividha Guna Darshan program, you can tell us a joke, or perform a dance, or sing a song, as a group or as an individual. A panel of judges will decide the CMM talent show winners. We are planning to divide the competition in 3 age groups as follows:

-         Kids up to 8 years of age
-         Kids between age of 9 to 15
-         Anyone over 16 year and older (on the day of competition)  

This will be followed by ‘Katha Kathan’ by Mr. Ashok Anoukar (details to follow)

We will then open up the dance floor for every one to show their ‘Dandiya’ skills.

We are looking forward to take the CMM functions to your part of town. Please let us know if you can help us organize the event in your area. We would need a facility that can seat 200+ people and a decent size stage for performances. It can be a recreation center or school. Due to time and budget constraints, we would appreciate it if you can check the rates for the facility (4pm to 9pm) before proposing the venue.

Please let us know if you would like to participate with the details of Name of performer(s) , duration of performance( s) and what you are going to present.

Just so we can make appropriate arrangements, we would appreciate if you can send us your name and details no later than Oct 18th, 2009. Please send emails to marathi_people@ hotmail.com

Please participate and invite your friends to help us make this program another fun one for all of us!  

Regards always,
CMM Committee
