        <![CDATA[Namaskar,<br /><br />As you know, like last many years, Marathi mandal 
actively takes part in India Day event that celebrates India's 
independence day. It is a unique event not observed in many cities as 
all organizations come together and celebrate in true sense of <i>Bharatiya</i>. <br /><br />This
 year the event is on 14th August (Sat) at Folsom High School (opposite 
Intel). You all are invited to this free event.&nbsp; By the way, Marathi 
Mandal will be performing a (large) group song/dance item in the event.<br /><br /><b>Last
 year there was audience around 1800. As you can imagine, it cannot be 
executed without lots of help and support. We need more volunteers. 
India day committee has specifically requested each organization to give
 them 5 volunteers who will help on that day.</b><br /><br /><font style="" color="#0070c0"><b>Please inform me who is interested in helping on 14th August during the India Day event.</b></font><br /><br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Ajit Natu<br />(India Day 2010 committee) ]]>

 special thanks to all the members who took pictures, provided food, 
lend a helping hand and displayed great sportsmanship by participating

 a round of applause and gentlemen; do we have MMSAC Volleyball Team in
