Greetings!

Another busy weekend for ISW with multiple events happening. Starting off with a packed hall for ISW PEN's Estate Planning panel, followed by the dynamic ISW Dhol Tasha group performance at Faneuil Hall in front of a engaged crowd that joined in and danced. The weekend culminated with the Finals for Antakshari, a real nail biter as the teams jousted for top prize. More events are in the works and we are all gearing up for India Day on Aug 6th at the DCU Center.
