Second Diwali Gala, October 24, 2009 Kudos to all for yet another successful event! The Diwali gala organized by AILIV on October 24th at the Ramada Inn was very well attended (over 250 people) and provided a lot of fun. Moreover, we managed to raise more than $600 between the silent auction and voluntary contributions at the event site alone for the recent flood victims in India.
