MUSICAL SESSION ON 2nd Nov 2008

RAFI FOUNDATION

HYDERABAD CHAPTER

Friends, my recent mails on the next musicl session gave several optional dates - 26th October, 2nd November and 9th November 2008. This was immediately after our musical session on the 12th October 2008. Some of our members pointed out that 26th October was just before Diwali and we had better postpone it to a later date. We thought of 2nd November as the next date, but it did not suit a few more and then we had planned for 9th November 2008. To this some more of our members pointed that it was unduly delayed and they opined that 2nd November 2008 should be the date for our next musical session.

Considering these, I did talk to a few of our friends and found that most would prefer 2nd November 2008 as the date for our next musical session. We will therefore have our next musical session on the coming Sunday, 2nd November 2008 at S M R Empire from 3.00 p.m. (the usual venue and the timings). I will have a word with Subramaniam too tomorrow on the eve of Diwali and he will arrange the hall for us.

Like we had suggested the last time, I would like each one of us to have a list of 5 songs given to me in advance so that the common songs can be diluted and a mock programme can be conducted, all with announcements etc. We can have the 'theme based" programmes from a later date onwards as I received only one response so far on this subject.

I would once again invite all those who have not participated in our musical sessions so far to attend on the 2nd November 2008. Some of our regular members too have not been attending our musical sessions of late and this trend has to be reversed. Some of our members are not checking up their mails regularly and this hampers communication.

On our subject of a grand musical show towards Dec 2008, I have to inform you all that the spade work has just begun and soon we will be drawing up a full scale programme which may be held around Feb/March 2009 only. Sponsorship is delaying the programme, but this will be sorted out soon. Unless we are sure of certain funds, we cannot go ahead with the rest of the organizing. That is the reason why Feb/March 2009 is now the target. We should have a proper programme in place in the coming weeks.

Let us therefore meet once again on the 2nd November 2008 at S M R Empire complex in Marredpally. For exact location of our venue, members can contact me or Subramaniam (27700235).

See you all on the 2nd November 2008.
