Area Idol 2008 - Tr. Ashok RT 162

Dear Tablers & Friends in Tabling,

The time of the year has arrived yet again. 162's moment of pride.....AREA 2 IDOL. It is my pleasure to invite all my friends to our gala Program.

I am once again forwarding my Vice Chairman's mail which very clearly outlines the details of the Progam. I will be calling all of you personally to clock in your entries for the event. Looks like there are gonna be prizes for one & all.

I have introduced the Duet Awards this year. I am sure this will add to the Fellowship which we all enjoy the most. I can almost hear the couples already.

Read on friends ...................
