Light of Compassion: A Spectacular Evening for a Noble Cause – Come join our Circle of Friends at the Rubin Museum of Art, a treasure of architecture in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, to celebrate the accomplishments of the Manjushree Orphanage and Free School in Tawang, India — and to help fund a planned Academic Center. An optimal learning environment will foster academic success and enable these disadvantaged children to flourish.

WHERE: Rubin Museum of Art (150 West 17th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues)

New York, NY

Time: Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 6:00pm – 8:00pm

WHAT: A Gala Reception with open bar. Vikas Khanna’s famously tasty hors d’oeuvres. A Silent Auction (starting at 6pm sharp) with unique offerings from the travel, culinary and fashion industries. A special musical performance by Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo. > Listen to Yungchen´s Music <

Exclusive guided tours of the Rubin Museum galleries. And a presentation of the impressive building project designed for the children of Manjushree Orphanage. An all around incredible experience in the service of a noble cause.
