The buzz conversations filled the air as people relaxed in the lovely outdoor by-the-pool ambience. Artist Gopaal Seyn was on-hand to do a live painting. He worked through the evening to create brilliant abstract artwork.

The main agenda of the evening, of course was the philanthropy event. Signature Committee Chair, Dr. Asra Oberoi welcomed the audience and introduced Mr. Seyn before handing over to Asha Dhume, President of Club 24 Plus.

After a sumptuous dinner the Club members rounded up the evening in a medley of Bollywood songs sung by some talented Club members.

Club 24 is an organization that was founded by members of the Indo-American community in Houston as a social club with a primary mission to build bridges with the broader community in Houston. Many individuals are involved with various organizations, serve on boards, and are active in different charitable causes. Club 24 sought to organize some of these individual activities and try to leverage those involvements to create a larger scale endeavor. Over the last several years Club 24 has developed deeper relationships with several organizations. This has been through jointly sponsored events, board involvement, and fundraising.
