NADA HABBA SPECIAL                                           e-patra                                                  November 2003, Issue# 4


Dear Friends:
 
Nimagellarigu Deepavali mathu Nada Habba gala Shubhashayagalu.
 
One of the common comments we hear from new immigrants and long term resident Kannadigas in Toronto is that there are not enough opportunities  to socialize and get to know other Kannadigas. At our functions people congregate with known friends or sit and watch the programs by themselves. The fact is that many of us do not attempt to overcome the inertia and make extra effort to meet new friends.
 
With this in mind, we are making a  special effort to provide opportunities  to socialize and network with others during this NADA HABBA. The afternoon is specifically dedicated for this effort. I request all of you to come in large numbers early and discover new friends.
