Surya, Let me know if you need any help. I can lend my support. We are doing a indoamericaneyecare fund raising event in Denver on 24th October. Many dignitaries from Telugu Associations are coming for the event. I know some of them personally. I will talk to them personally when they are here. Please share the information with me too so that I can work on this. We can work on this offline and send updates to the group. Send email to [email protected].
