JAIN NETWORK FORUM
(FORMERLY MIS)
Coordinator: Viken Shah
This year's Jain Network Forum program is designed to meet your needs, your interests and your future plans. The JNF committee is emphasizing a comfortable environment giving each JNF participant the opportunity to meet other individuals through group seminars and games. There will not be those embarrassing moments. Some of the activities planned are highlighted below.
Friday, July 6th 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Rosemont Suites, Ballroom: Talk Show and Skit Several couples with various backgrounds will discuss the pros and cons of marriage. You will have an opportunity to ask questions to each couple regarding the difficulties or challenges they may or may not have had to face. Learn the real scoop on marriage from your peers who are fairly new at the game. Various backgrounds amongst the couples range from interracial marriages to traditional arranged marriages. In addition, we'll add a little humor to each scenario with a skit to exemplify your common fears towards marriage.
Friday, July 6th 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Rosemont Suites, Ballroom: Social Hour. Escape from any external pressure and enjoy this leisurely environment provided for you. Only JNF participants will participate in this casual social hour. This will allow you to meet some of your peers and make new friends, who are going through the same issues in life that you are going through.
Saturday, July 7th 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Hyatt, Rosemont Ballroom A-B: Games Finally, after months of anticipation, viewing profiles, and checking out pictures, here is your chance to meet some of other participants in JNF. We've organized interactive games for couples, which will enable you to get to know each other more. But don't worry, the games provided will casually break the ice between all the participants and you'll soon be having some great conversations with some new and familiar faces before lunch.
Sunday, July 8th 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM. Hyatt, Rosemont Ballroom C-D: Open Discussion Has JNF been a successful event? If so, parents will have a chance to meet some of the participants in a casual social environment. If not, here's your chance to talk about what's on your mind. Participants who do not want parents involved can discuss other advantages and disadvantage with JNF and marriage in general.
