SALAAM Summer Celebration
(doors open at 6:45pm)

SALAAM 3rd Mondays
Geeta Citygirl, Artistic Director
invites you to a reading of a new one-act play,

MARRYING NANDINI
written by Nandita Shenoy
directed by Geeta Citygirl

SYNOPSIS:  What happens when parents take their daughter's marriage into their own hands.  Nandini's parents find out when they decide to fill out her Match.com profile and learn more than they bargained for about their daughter and themselves.

CAST:  Nandita Shenoy and Sanjiv Jhaveri.
=========================
Followed by a reading from the new novel (to be released later this year)

BOMBAY DUCK
By Sharbari Ahmed

SYNOPSIS:  Set in WWII Calcutta, Bombay Duck tells the story of Yasmine Khan, a street wise young woman who opens a night club (think Casablanca) to serve the Allied troops stationed in the city before heading off to the jungles of Burma.  Part historical, part fiction the novel endeavors to capture a time and place where the extraordinary intersection of lives leads to love, loss and ultimately freedom.
=========================
After the reading, please stay to enjoy refreshments, snacks and our much-loved vegetarian samosas.

SALAAM is partnering with SAMAR
South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters (SAMAR) serves patients diagnosed with leukemia and other fatal blood disorders from the South Asian community and other minority groups who are in search of  Blood Stem Cell /Marrow donors. Our mission is to create an informed society of individuals who would make a conscious decision to be committed donors and be available to donate blood stem cell/ marrow if they match a patient.  We look forward to helping and encourage you to register at any of our upcoming drives.  SALAAM thanks Rafiya Peerbhoy and Moazzam Khan, and the SAMAR volunteers and supporters.  www.SamarInfo.org
