Delhi Blog & New Media Society के लेख
We are thankful to Microsoft Corp (India) Pvt. Ltd. for sponsoring Twestival – Twitterers for a cause. If you didn’t know, Microsoft India is also on twitter at @microsoftindia. We will have a touch of technology at the fundraiser with a Touchscreen PC running Windows 7 available at the event.
Twestival Delhi Fundraiser will be on Saturday, Sept 12th 2009 from 6:00 PM onwards. The venue is a nice indoor (in this weather it is better to be indoors, isn’t it?) art gallery of contemporary photos:
Kunzum Gallery, T-49, Ground Floor, Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi
Twestival Delhi is contributing to charity:
Khushboo Welfare Society, Sector 10 A, (Near Lions Public School), Gurgaon
At the fundraiser, you will be able to meet and network with other twitters and bloggers from Delhi. We have planned the fundraiser to be a meet and greet 
event. We will also have some fun games (courtesy @nidhi8519) where you can win some exciting prizes (like movie DVDs). In addition, we will have FREE beer and finger food for you to keep the “spirits” high :)
Being a fundraiser, we do request a minimum donation for the charity we are supporting. Your donations will be directly received by the charity’s representative and they will issue receipt. With the sponsorship from @microsoftindia, we are happy to revise the minimum donation down to Rs 500/- (from earlier 1000). This is lesser than what you spend at a restaurant for a meal!
Let us show the world the heart Delhi has and give our love to disabled children by supporting Khushboo.
We understand that some of you may not be able to make it to the event. You still have an option of making an online donation to Khushboo (min Rs 500) at: http://www.giveindia.org/g
Please mention in comments that you heard about it at Twestival.
Please feel free to get in touch with @baxiabhishek on 9871127378 for any help on the venue or the event.

After the Twestival event of Feb 12th, Delhi Blog and New Media Society is planning another one. Twestivals are done globally (in around 202 cities) by volunteers as gathering of tweeple (aka people on twitter) with a view to make a social contribution.
The planning for Twestival Delhi is underway. We are working with 2-3 NGOs and will be selecting one to associate with. The current format being planned is a combination of fundraiser party and on the grounds volunteer work. The party will facilitate meeting of the twitter people face to face. On the grounds volunteer work will extend the impact of cause we select to beyond the party.
We welcome any feedback that you may have on the event structure as proposed above in comments.
Today we are asking you to keep your time free on Saturday, Sept 12 2009 from 6 PM onwards for the Twestival Delhi. The location of the party will be announced shortly. Since this is a fundraiser event, there will be a donation required with proceeds going to the cause we select.
Please follow @delhibloggers to stay abreast of the latest developments on Twestival planning. Also, let us know in case you would like to volunteer for this event by replying to @delhibloggers.
Hope to see all the Delhi Tweeples at the Twestival shortly!
