TO THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT & ENJOYED OUR PROGRAM ON MAY 29
Thank you very much from our inner heart for coming to enjoy Rabindra Joyonti, Nazrul Joyonti, & Notun Bangla Bochhor Boron program held on Saturday, May 29, 2010. We really appreciate that most of you stayed continuously with us till the very end of the program and enjoyed our program by sacrificing your valuable time. We are very grateful to you for this. Only your presence & cooperation with us until the completion of our program made our event a grand success. We met our mission.
However, this is the first time in Washington DC area that we presented Rabindra Joyonti, Nazrul Joyonti, & Notun Bangla Bochhor Boron in the same evening. As a first timer for throwing three (3) individual programs in one evening (three-in-one), we have definitely made some errors or mistakes, unknowingly & unintentionally, at different areas of our programs. We love to correct our mistakes to improve our future programs. Your constructive criticisms (NOT attacking or charging criticisms) will definitely help us to improve our future activities. So, please do not hesitate to send us your positive comments, feedbacks, & opinions on our May 29 program. To give us encouragement & to keep our energy to work for future programs, also please let us know the good things we have done besides your listing of mistakes & errors.
TO THOSE WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO COME TO OUR PROGRAM ON MAY 29

QUIZ GAME SHOW "WHO IS THE MOST ATTENTIVE GUEST?"
This was the most fun part of the whole program. We asked few questions to the audience on all segments of the total program of the evening to determine "Who is the most attentive guest?" By answering only three (3) questions correctly out of 12 questions, Mr. Inam Haque have been elected as "The Most Attentive Guest" and awarded with a very attractive & expensive prize. We also gave comfort prizes to four guests who answered to only one question correctly.
IN CASE IF WE MISSED ANY NAMES IN THE ABOVE, PLEASE FORGIVE US AND LET US KNOW WHO WE MISSED. WE WILL RECOGNIZE THEIR NAMES IN OUR NEXT E-MAIL.
Best Regards,
