THE ETHNIC HOOSIER
����.���. July 2001
Supplement
for members of the Nationalities Council of Indiana, Inc.
- Attention
all ethnic group representatives: please plan to present a BRIEF
summary of your group�s plans for the 2001 International Festival at the 9
July council meeting. We want everyone to know what each of us is planning
for cultural displays, food booths, entertainment and so forth.
- William
T. Lewis of the YWCA is coming to our July meeting to talk about Race
Relations Study Circles. This is a program we could implement after the
festival.
- Don�t
forget to review the proposed by-laws changes. We�ll be voting on them at
the August meeting, but if we need further discussion, July is the time to
do it.
- DUES!
DUES! DUES! If you haven�t sent your check for 2001, please do so.
- Gene
Maresca, chairman of the membership committee, will be following up with
all past members to be sure everyone�s affiliation is up to date. We�re
always on the lookout for new ethnic organizations to welcome into the
Nationalities Council. Whenever you run across a group you haven�t seen at
one of our meetings, you can be the personal ambassador for NCI (invite
them to join us!) � and then pass the contact information on to Gene
Maresca, Nelleke Bruyn, Naty Dumaual, Bob Bunnell and/or Susan McKee! The
more the merrier�.
- The
current list of delegates from regular and associate member-organizations
of NCI is available through our website. If your listing is not right,
please e-mail us.
- Pat
Hubley of the Promotion Company is on the prowl for vendors and exhibitors
for the International Festival. Any and all ideas are welcome, especially
if they come attached with contact information. E-mail ([email protected]), fax
the information to 317:236-6519, or bring it to an NCI meeting. We�d like
more non-profit organizations and businesses to have display booths, as
well as every ethnic group we can find in Central Indiana to participate
with us.
- I�ve
received a duplicate of our IRS determination letter for 501(c)3 status,
so we now have the proper documentation to submit with grant applications.
- Everyone�member
or not-- is welcome to attend NCI general meetings on the second Monday of
each month (except December and January). You don�t have to be a member
to come � but we actively seek and welcome new members.
- Although
The Ethnic Hoosier goes to all who are interested, this supplement
is designed just for NCI members.
- Website
reminders: check out not only my work-in-progress NCI homepage site (http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~smckee),
but also NCI�s two other volunteer-created websites, Phil Hu�s at http://www.am-biznet.com/intlfest,
and Chao-Hung Lee�s at http://134.68.129.11/.
We�ve decided we need two separate web portals, one for NCI, Indiana�s
international links, the international calendar and other information, and
one that�s exclusively about the International Festival
