From Jackie's Restaurant:

Please join us in welcoming a delegation of Lamas from the Sakya Dokho Monestery in Tromthar, Tibet, who are currently touring the US. This is a rare opportunity to visit with these esteemed spiritual leaders and, in so doing, give financial support to their Monastery in Tibet. A $10.00-$20.00 donation is suggested, or whatever amount you can afford.

Proceeds from this evening will go toward rebuilding their 150 year old Monastery building (pictured above) and toward preserving the Tibetan heritage and culture.

This fundraiser will be held in the Back Room at Jackie’s, an art and event space adjacent to the dining room. The Back Room presents Troika theater company in April, and 88’s FLASH on April 18. Please see www.jackiesrestaurant.com “fun” page for the current calendar of events. Or email us to request notices of our programs.

Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cash bar; proceeds to Sakya Dokho. Please give generously!

Hello – SSSNA will be hosting its next social gathering at McGinty's on Thursday, March 27th. A fellow Silver Springer will also be doing a comedy show at McGinty's, so lets get out and support him! The SSSNA group will be meeting at the restaurant from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and we'll have a table sign that clearly marks our group so it's easy to find us. The menu has a great mix of salads and appetizers with entrees ranging from meat to vegetarian and seafood all with an Irish spin.

So far we've had great turnouts at previous SSSNA Socials with people joining us for just a drink while others have enjoyed a full meal.

Come and meet new friends in a fun and casual setting while supporting our local business!!!
