Hey guys,

    What's going on? How's everybody doing! Looks like Diwali is coming along pretty well, so pat yourself on the back. I just wanted to notify everyone about what's going on.

Every year we usually have a special performer as you know. In the past we've had the comedian and Xavier do some performances. This year we wanted to try something different. Kavi and I have decided to bring CHAI-TOWN to MIAMI! Chai-Town is an indian male acapella singing group at the University of Illinois-Champaign. You can go to You-tube and type in Chai-town at UIUC and listen to their stuff. It's pretty neat what they do. Anyways, we've received the contract and before I sign and send it, I wanted to gauge everyone's feelings on the subject.

1. There are 9 of them and we will have to house them in our apartments.
2. We're paying them 300$ plus transportation (roughly 200$ for 2 cars, 2 full gas tanks)
3. They wil arrive on Friday night, stay with us,  and most likely leave after dinner on Saturday.
4. We can bring a few "Chandani" (female acapella) girls if we want, but you have to let me know ASAP. Housing is a large consideration. "Chandani" has atleast 10 girls.
5. They will perform for approximately 10 minutes.

So, there's the info. Let me know how you feel and email me with any questions or concerns. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
