We had a conference call to get updates of tasks, at
9:30PM on April 3rd.

Updates so far: 
1. Krishna is contacting Raagas, Kalluri Corner,
Flavor, couple of doctors etc. Rajesh and Himanshu will
go to stores in Edison-Oak tree road and solicit their
support. Varsha has got a $250 ad and is trying for
more.
[PLEA] Volunteers who got brochure ads last year,
please approach the same stores this year too... they
might easily agree. [Vinay] will coordinate this task.
[All Volunteers] Please contact your nearby
grocery/video store whether they would be interested
in placing an ad in our brochure.

2. Brochure preparation : Shankar Krishnan
(krishnas@research.att.com) would like to take up
brochure typesetting, as he will not be able to take
part in any other fundraising tasks. 

3. T.V.Asia .. Rajesh and Dipali will select dates for
ads, etc. If you would like to give your ideas, you're
welcome to do so.. contact Rajesh(earajesh@yahoo.com)
or Dipali(dipalidesai@hotmail.com)

4. Rajesh will order prints of 500 copies of flyers
and newsletters.. it would cost 3 cents per copy. ;
approx. $90 . If anybody thinks to the contrary or has
alternate ideas to this, please contact
Rajesh(earajesh@yahoo.com / 732 452 0276) before
Thursday afternoon.

5. Need Ticket updates during the saturday meeting.
People who have distributed tickets to their friends
to sell, please get updates from them.  
[ALL Volunteers] please update
Amit(sahai@cs.princeton.edu)] as to the number of tickets
you yourself need for you and your family. These
number of tickets can then be considered sold.

6. Corporate sponsorships. Other than Nuware and the
donation of award amount by HCL, we have not got any
other sponsorships so far.

sponsorship.

to get food packets like last year.. We will order 375
boxes. (audience number expected - 650)

[Kumar] Were you able to enquire with Dominos/Pizza
Hut about serving refreshments for performing children
