Friends,
The countdown has indeed begun. Our programme in connection with the visit of Mubarak Begumji is taking shape. We had a meeting of our members to discuss and finalize most of the agenda and the ground work has taken off. We must all now spread the word around among all our music-loving relatives, friends, associates, etc so that more and more of them enjoy the evening.
Each one of us should make a note of the friends/relatives/associates, etc. from their side who will be attending the programme and also collect the donations from such invitees. The lists and the amount so collected should be handed over to S. Ramakrishna or R. Padmanabhan. As far as our members go, the collection has already started. Our members are requested to contribute Rs.200/- per family as a minimum. Those of us who can contribute more than this are most welcome to do that as every penny would help in organizing the show in a grand manner. Some of the arrangements have already been attended and towards this our members and other friends have all helped in a big way. Hall booking has been arranged by the Surenders (M V Surender and Mrs. Jyothi Surender) through their good offices. They are also arranging for a specific harmonium that Mubarak Begumji had desired and the same will also be arranged shortly. Orchestra and Photography/Videography has been also arranged.
I am enclosing an invitation to each one of you and those of us who are inviting many more of our friends etc can download the attached invitation and take out copies to be distributed.
Let it be our endeavour to bring in atleast five families per member so that we have around 50 such families comprising of atleast two per family. That way, apart from our own group members, we have an audience of around 100 more guests. We can all make the most of this weekend to invite our own contacts and relatives, etc. The hall has a capacity to accomodate roughly 300 guests and hence we should strive to bring in more number of families.
Our personal requests to Mrs. Meenakshi Padmanabhan, Mr. M.V. Surender and Mrs. Jyothi Surender to bring in as many families as possible. This is because of the wide contacts that they possess. Others among us also will certainly try as hard as the above named to rope in many more families. One can use personal visits, telephone calls, emails etc. to reach out to all known music lovers in the next two/three days. This will help us know how many are finally going to turn up for the programme.
This is once-a-life-time-event for each of us and its importance is being felt by all of us. We are sure the enthusiasm and zeal shown by all our members towards this mega-show of our times will yeild the best results and we will have "a day to remember for the rest of our lives" for a long time to come.
Open the attachment, save it and also print as many copies as you deem fit. Let us get started and devote the entire next week to this upcoming event.
A BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE.
