It's that time again for the International Students Club annual dinner.
This year it is called International Dinner 2009 and it will be held Friday, March 6 at 6 p.m. at the Runner Café and Stockdale Room.
The event is open to everyone. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children under 10 years of age. Pre-sale tickets may be purchased with the International Students Club adviser Jesse Chavez in the Admissions and Records office or they will also be available at the door.
Dalia Baadarani, President of the International Students Club is very excited for this event. She stated this is approximately the 10th annual dinner. Baadarani is a graduate student in the counseling program who is from Lebanon. She has been in the United States for 11 years.
Baadarani said that the members cook dishes from their own country and that there will be about 50 different dishes.
Along with good food, entertainment will be provided. There will be different cultural performances such as a Japanese dance, Indian dance and live Peruvian music.
Along with the performances, there will also be a fashion show.
"It is to show what people wear in their own culture," said Baadarani.
This annual dinner is well-known throughout the community and has a big turnout every year.
"Last year we sold all 300 tickets and it is what we aim also for this year too," said Baadarani.
According to their website, the dinner "gathers hundreds of people (friends in the community, students, staff and professors) to celebrate the richness of cuisine and share the food cultures of the world."
The website also says that International Student's Club is very unique in many ways. Students from all over the world meet regularly to organize cultural events, trips and social activities.
