THE ETHNIC HOOSIER
����.���. June 2001
Supplement
for members of the Nationalities Council of Indiana, Inc.
- The
Naturalization Ceremony is a �go� for Friday 2 November � and we still
need a Festival team leader for that event. Volunteers?
- DUES!
DUES! DUES! If you haven�t sent your check for 2001, please do so.
- Gene
Maresca, new 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�.
- Rudy
Yung and Beth Waltz have resigned from the Nationalities Council board, so
we have a openings for a few new members. Who�s especially interested?
- I�ll
be out of town on 11 June, so Naty Dumaual will be conducting the meeting.
- 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.
- When
you go to the Italian Street Festival or the Middle Eastern Festival � or
any other ethnic event, be sure to say you hope to see everyone at the
International Festival 1-4 November. Word of mouth is the best form of
advertising!
- Has
anybody seen the IRS determination letter affirming our 501(c)3 status?
- Take a
look at the By-Laws (on our website); we need to make some changes (for
example, eliminating references to the World Paks). Anything else?
- 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
