These funds were collected from the SLAC community for the Tamil Nadu Relief Effort in India, and will go towards rebuilding schools in the stricken area.

DRAS fundraising efforts continued with a lunch featuring Indian food held April 8 in the Panofsky Auditorium Breezeway. The food was excellent and the entertainment (a dance performance by Archana and Viji Ganapathi, trained in the traditional Kalakshetra style at the Kalanjali Dance School in Berkeley) was truly outstanding. We raised over $500 at the luncheon! For updated fund raising events and information about DRAS, see: http://www.draslac.org/
