We had a big turnout with attendance of 55 members, including many new members!

Dr. Rosa De Vermette, Keynote Speaker, spoke on Food, Gut and Brain connection. She highlighted many new discoveries and confirmed some of our conventional wisdom of food imparted from generations. You view and download Dr. de Vermette’s slides here:

Rekha Dogra gave an update on SNOW charity work and fundraising.  Thanks to our generous donors we have been able to support Interval House, a shelter for abused women and their children. A $5,000 cheque was presented to Interval House, and food baskets and toys were also donated last Christmas (2021).

A new project, supplying backpacks with school supplies,  was initiated  to help school students from vulnerable communities.  This is an ongoing project.  So far 50 have been distributed to 3 schools.

Our thanks to MC, Archna Abrol, for doing a splendid job in conducting the door prizes raising money. Special thanks to the Event Organizing Team, to Dr. de Vermette, to SNOW members and their guests who all made the event successful. Lastly, thanks also to Mr. Anish Mehra and the staff of East India Company for providing noteworthy service.
