Diwali '07 celebrations

Palm Court Fun Club had been discussing on various ideas on how to celebrate Diwali this year, during the whole of last week. We wanted to do it differently this year, compared to what we did last time. Last year's Diwali was celebrated with a few programs and ended quickly with a dinner. It has almost become a routine at Palm Court, that we don't think anything beyond a dinner for a get-together. This year, we decided to stress more on the programs, and not the dinner (don't worry, we've something similar instead!). Not because, we wouldn't like people to dine together - it's a nice idea, but we wanted to do something more. So, we've decided to celebrate this year's Diwali over a period of 3 days - Thursday, Saturday and Sunday - with loads of interesting games for all age groups. Diwali day will start with the Rangoli in the morning, and the evening will witness diyas lighting up the building, ending the day with fireworks/bursting crackers. Saturday will be kid's day and will have variety programs organized for kids. Sunday will be seniors day and will have programs organized for seniors - both men and women. We hope that with the new style of celebrations we will be able to reach out to everybody and that all of you will welcome the change with enthusiasm!

I'd sent out a detailed circular with Raju (and the program agenda on all 3 days), so please check it out and ensure your participation on all 3 days.
