I understand "work work and no play make Jack a dull boy", but it will be even a better tradition if those left over money goes to some charity in Assam instead of merry making. After all, most of us here in USA got subsidized education through the Govt of Assam as well as India. My two cents.

>It is very nice of Jugal to renew the tradition that was started in Houston in 1999. The Houston Host Committee forwarded all of its surplus money (more than $2200 if I recall correctly) to the New Jersey Host Committee as seed money for the next convention. How that money got used and whether New Jersey could send some to Toronto I don't know since the balance sheet for the New Jersey convention was not published.
