Vibha Milwaukee Connect Event 12/13/09

Special thanks to all the guest that joined us for our "CONNECT" event Sunday, December 13th, 2009. We hope the event was informative and that we have made an impact for involvement in the near future. If there should be any questions, please feel free to contact us. It was a great event.

Event Coordinator Ashish Rastogi started the event with going over Vibha as a whole. Following Ashish was Manju who is a project lead. Manju went over projects that Vibha over sees in India and she went in detail a lot of the specifics of running the projects. Third, Meenal went over projects and events we've done in the Milwaukee community along with Cathy Klein who briefed on Milwaukee Public Schools Homeless Education Program (MPS HEP). MPS HEP is a program that Vibha Milwaukee has supported monetarily in a few past events. Lastly, it was an open session with questions and collaboration on ideas.

Event started promptly at 4pm lasting to about 6pm. Snacks and refreshments were served and a Vibha information booth was present.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped in making Connect happen. Special thanks to Ashish, Meenal, Manju, and Abraham on the awesome slides and videos. Special thanks to UWM students Parag, Soumya, and Balaji in getting the venue and helping coordinate. Kudos to the team.
