Busy Month

This month was really busy for me - working and volunteering and last Friday (June 26) finally I was done with all of it.

I was selected to be the chairman for an Asian Dance Night event - one of the many Asian Heritage Month events. Besides that, I was also in charge of food for all the other events. Selecting food was not too hard since I selected based on what I liked - for this month two of my favorite restaurants were really lucky since I catered everything from them.

Since the event was a volunteer event, it was hard to get everyone on board to help. I spent 2 weeks looking for a dance group who could perform and teach people, trying to find the best deal for everything since the budget was reduced per current economic conditions.

To make a long story medium-long, we settled on two dances: Indonesian and Russian [coincidence? hmm...] and some varieties of Asian booths such as writing your name in Russian letters (which was done by my hubby - for free) and Henna (cost $40 per hour).

The event turned out really well - we were expecting 80 people and 135 people came : )
I was really relieved I was able to arrange this event successfully - my first event as chairperson :)

This month I also participated on the video competition related with Asian Culture and won the 3rd prize (I actually submitted 3 videos: 2 Gamelan documentaries and 1 Indian Dance by Reana).
