Dear NAMA Members:
Greetings!
We are happy to invite you and your family to the 20th annual NAMA Convention 2011 to be held on the 4th of July weekend (July 2-3) in New Jersey, USA. This year we have selected the venue of the convention at Royal Albert’s Palace, NJ, USA for your convenience. The Convention venue is attached with the hotel accommodation. There will be a reception gathering on the 2nd of July afternoon and followed by the main convention day on the 3rd of July 2011. This year we are expecting a good number of participants from different parts of the North America. We will cater main food items above our traditional dishes prepared by the host families in and around New Jersey and New York. There will be a great cultural show with many participants performing traditional dance, music and other forms of arts. Kids will perform the talents that they have learned. Most importantly, there will be speakers presenting valuable speeches so that we all can benefit from. The details of the program will be communicated later.
In order to facilitate the growing number of member participants, the executive committee took the decision to increase the fee structure of the membership so that we can effectively organize the yearly convention as well other activities year long.
Revised Membership and Convention (combined) fee structure:
Unemployed scholars & students: US$35
Employed Single: US$45
Family: US$75
Your support and cooperation is very much in need for the growth and prosperity of our community in North America.
