Requests for help from NCI members
2003
- Geri Watson at University of Indianapolis is looking for CANADIAN entertainment and other help for the International Dinner in March.
2002
- "I work in the International Division at University of
Indianapolis and have been here about 7 months. I have the pleasure of
planning our division's International Dinner this year (and from now on)
which is scheduled for March 27. The theme this year is "World Cruise"
and I am so excited about planning it with our international students.
On our cruise we will be "stopping" at 5 or 6 locations around the world
and I am looking for organizations that would like to participate by
providing some form of entertainment. I do not have a big budget to work
with so I need to find people who want to educate others by sharing
their culture and their talents with our students, faculty, staff and
their families. This event is usually attended by 300-350 people. We also will be setting up a cultural
display room and we would like to invite people to set up displays
showing items (or selling items or services) from their country." (signed) Geri Watson, International Division, University of Indianapolis, 317:788-3292, e-mail.
