SAPNA is Celebrating Holi! With a GRAND SPONGE WAR FINALE!

The South Asian Peer Network Association (SAPNA) are back again with an event to celebrate the message of love and peace - Holi.

Today Holi is an excuse for Indians to shed inhibitions and caste differences for a day of spring fever and fun. People from all ages spend the day flirting and misbehaving in the streets, adults extend the hand of peace, and everyone chases everyone else around, throwing brightly colored powder (gulal) over each other.

The event will be held on Monday, March 1 from 3:00pm - 5:30pm Rain or Shine! Meet us at the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies (University House, Building F) at 3pm to learn about the history of Holi and how it is celebrated around the world.

Only a $5 dollar entry fee; with your ticket you can have Samosas; Indian chai; Henna; Learn some Bhangra steps and purchase a White T-shirt.

Come and Live a Little!
