ADVISORY
BOARD DINNER
September 20, 2002
ING advisors, speakers, and volunteers were invited to ING's Advisory
Board Dinner on Friday September 20th at the Afghan Village Restaurant
in Newark, California. The dinner was held to privately celebrate
ING's 10th year anniversary with those individuals and their families
who had contributed so much of their time and energy to ING. The night
began with a delicious buffet of Afghan cuisine. Guests mingled throughout
dinner and enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. After dinner was
over, guests gathered around for a brief welcome speech by Ameena
Jandali. Ameena's speech was followed by an introduction session that
required everyone to stand up, introduce themselves and briefly explain
their history with ING. The comments were a wonderful mixture of heartfelt
greetings and humorous anecdotes. Once the introductions were over
and the laughter they inspired died down, the two Board of Directors,
Maha ElGenaidi and Ameena Jandali prepared for their PowerPoint presentation
that took a look at ING's accomplishments in the past ten years and
their plans for the next fifteen years.
The PowerPoint presentation gave a brief overview of ING's projected
goals locally, here in the Bay Area, and nationally with NASaB (Network
of Affiliated Speakers Bureaus) for the next 15 years. Afterwards,
questions and comments were taken from the audience and the evening
ended properly with a supplication.
The dinner marked the first of many events that celebrated ING's
10 years of community service and was a great night of delicious
food, laughter, and reflection.
