Ball is no ordinary Ball, as we celebrate the International Year of Rice,
the 30th anniversary of Bangladesh’s membership to the United Nations, as
well as United Nations Day.
The UN Ball committee had its first meeting on May 4th 2004 at the
residence of UN Ball Committee Chair Rinda Maramis. Present were – Liti
Lissner, Marika Vollman, Pauline Bottrill, Allison Hessic, Vassana
Barclay, Wati Kamayana, Anowara Ahmed and Imrana Shahidulla. The decision
was made to hold the UN Ball at Sonargaon Hotel on Thursday 30 September
at 1930 hours. The menu for the dinner has been chosen carefully at a food
tasting affair, and sponsors for drinks have been approached. The Pentagon
Band will be asked to provide the music, and the printer for the Ball
Brochure and tickets has been contacted. Letters to the sponsors are being
delivered and posters will be up at various clubs, schools, and UN and
diplomatic missions. The committee has been meeting once a week to prepare
for this most important event.
Gift donations are welcome. Bring back authentic souvenirs from your
respective countries for the raffle prize and silent auction. On your home
