Date: October 12-13, 2002 (Saturday and Sunday)
Dashain is round the corner and here we are, on the other side of the
globe from our homeland. Well, there is nothing we can do about that. but
we surely can have fun here - masu, bhaat, and momocha. After the grand
success of the Dashain gathering last year at Swarthmore, we are hosting
the Dashain gathering once again this year on October 12, 2002 and hope
you will be able to join us! The details follow:
Second Dashain Gathering of all Nepalis in Pennsylvania
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: October 12-13, 2002 (Saturday and Sunday)
Location: Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA. (11 miles outside
Philadelphia)
Transportation: There is a SEPTA train station right on campus. You will
have to take R3 going to Media/Elwyn. It takes about 20 minutes to get
here from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. There is a train every
hour. For detailed info on the SEPTA schedule and stops, you can visit
http://www.septa.org/riding/rail.html.The fare is $3.75 each way. If you
let us know what time you will arrive at Swarthmore, one of us will come
to pick you up at the train station. Swarthmore College is located at 500
College Ave., Swarthmore, PA 19081.
Evening: We have planned a cook-out dinner. We have reserved a big dorm
kitchen that we used for the last year's gathering. After dinner, we will
watch movies, make momo, listen to the rhythms, and of course dance.
Dinner: This is going to be the biggest thing of the day. If you can help
us cook, that would be great. Or else, don't blame us if the food is
bad! Anyway, if you can, we would appreciate if you could come a bit
earlier and help us cook.
Accomodation: We have arranged accommodation at the college if people want
to stay overnight.
Sunday morning: We will cook lunch, continue having fun and disperse by
the afternoon, or earlier if people want to.
Money: You will be responsible only for your transportation to and from
Swarthmore. The rest is on us. We will be delighted to have you as guests!
Please forward this invitation to any college-going, fun-loving Nepali in
United States.
