[ALBSA-Info] ALBSA-SKY fundraising event

[Eriola Kruja]

Hello,

My name is Eriola and I'm a member of the Albanian Students Association
(ALBSA). I'm writing to you to urge you to participate in our
ALBSA-SKY fundraising event which we are holding next Saturday, Sept. 16,
at Anthony's Pier 4. Please see full announcement at the end of this
e-mail.

Though advertised as a fundrasiser this event will provide an excellent 
opportunity to bring together all albanians, old and new, and especially 
albanian students in the New England area. Very rarely do we get the
opportunity to get together in a relaxed, conversational setting. 

Besides meeting old friends and getting to know new people this event will
be an ideal opportunity for albanian students to form contacts with known
and successfull members of the albanian-american community. Following is a
list of attendees who will most likely be there. Again they can help with
job ideas, graduate school ideas, etc... -- both inside and outside of the
Boston area.

We hope to have a broad cross-section of the Boston/Worcester
