Evening In India Update

A quick update for Evening In India: it's around the corner! Everything is falling in place and the dance/music practices have been great.

So in short, it'll be a spectacular night!

The money raised from this event will be going directly towards our three partner NGOs. Take a moment to read about the meaningful work they are doing in India. The 2010 team will also be sharing their contributions and experiences at Evening In India.

P.S. Just a reminder that there will be a silent auction with some beautiful items, don't forget to bring your wallet ;)

Evening in India 2012

To help meet our fundraising goals for the NGOs this year, IHI will continue the tradition of hosting “Evening in India – A South-Asian inspired cultural experience”. In the past this event has been a fantastic success featuring some of the top South-Asian musicians and dancers in South-Western Ontario.

South-Asian inspired music, dance, food, fun and even a silent auction. We promise that you'll love it! To reserve tickets email us at indiahealth[at]gmail[dot]com or contact us by phone at 226-234-4396 (David).

If you are interesting in performing or offering your support in any way, please don’t hesitate to email us.

We hope to see you there.
