*As part of traditional Haldi-Kunku, it is customary for the women attendees to receive a gift. To make it fun and exciting, we will be arranging a gift exchange at the STLMM haldi-kunku. Attendees that would like to participate in the gift exchange are required to bring in a wrapped gift costing about $5. From the pool of all such gifts, participants will get a randomly drawn gift that they get to keep. In the interest of time, there will be no subsequent gift swapping. Participation in the gift exchange is not mandatory for attending the haldi-kunku.
**We wanted to remind our Gold Members that there will be two additional free programs during the year for them to look forward to: Gudi Padwa Natak and a Networking event in Spring 2012.
