Seattle BMM convention

All right everyone. It's happening this weekend. The biennial Brihan Maharashtra Mandal convention is going to be held in Seattle this time.

Lots of good programmes and food. Exhibitions and a business conference are going to be held on the side.

Check out the site http://www.bmm2007seattle.org/

Highlights include a performance by Ustad Zakir Hussain and a play by Ashok Saraf, Nivedita Saraf, Sanjay Mone, Vijay Kenkre and Vinay Yedekar.

The chief minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh is going to attend this convention. Trips to Redmond and Everett are in his itinerary to have meetings at Microsoft and Boeing respectively. Dr. Jabbar Patel is the chief guest while Dr. Prakash and Manda Amte (Baba Amte's son and daughter-in-law) are guests of honour.

For all the non-marathi folk out there, single day passes are available if you want to just sample the Marathi culture :)

Lots of people have worked hard to make this a success and my best wishes are with all of them.

p.s. I am just a lowly volunteer in the Stage, Audio and Video (SAV) committee.
