They See DesiDearest SALAAM! Supporter, After the fundraiser we held for the HERE (Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees) New York Assistance Fund, so many of you have continued to send us donations and offers to help with any other work we do with this group and for that, much appreciation. I also want to welcome the new members whom we met at "The Other America Welcomes The Other Afghanistan" packed RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) event we co-sponsored last weekend at The Judson Memorial Church. I'm thrilled to announce that The Joseph Papp Public Theater (a historic NYC landmark) has generously offered to host our SALAAM Thanksgiving Benefit Bash. Due to the catastrophic events of 9/11, we canceled our scheduled One-Year SALAAM Soiree but after much thought, we have decided to forge ahead. In order to carry out our 2002 season of productions, we need your help. Join us as we give thanks and kick off the holidays with an evening of theatrical and musical performances including some very special surprise guests!!! We're pleased to announce that this is the first time you can guarantee admission to a SALAAM event by purchasing your tickets, hassle-free online through this safe online ticketing service powered by Sulekha New York (thanks to Ashish Joesph). We have a special early bird ticket price of $15 for those of you that purchase your tickets online by 5pm on November 14th. Tickets after that time will be $20 (we highly recommend reservations). Due to the limited seating and growing SALAAM family, we advise you to purchase your tickets in advance at http://www.sulekha.com/salaam Many thanks for your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you at this Thanksgiving event. Take good care of yourself and those around you. Peace & Much Love,
