Dear our favorite community friends,
 
This e-mail is related to AABEA (American Association of Bangladeshi Engineers & Architects)'s Science Fair & Picnic held on last Saturday, August 9, 2008 at Lake Fairfax Park, Reston, Virginia.  The following are some facts & information we like to express to you about this program.
 
 
TO THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT & ENJOYED OUR SCIENCE FAIR & PICNIC
 
Thank you very much for coming to our Science Fair & Picnic held on last Saturday (August 9).  We really appreciate that you came to enjoy our program by sacrificing your valuable time.  Some of you even changed your personal plans for coming to our program.  We are grateful to you for this.  The number of guests we had was much beyond our expectation and we met our mission.  Only your presence & cooperation with us made our August 9 event very successful.
 
We were also very surprised to see & meet a significant number of unknown faces.  We had never seen many of our guests at any other community programs before.  In fact, we got many guests who never received any e-mail from us.  They just heard about our program from other sources.
