Updates on 20th December-

We are also hiring a paid professional dance group who is going to perform a Bollywood dance song & also a Turkish Oriental dance song. So There will be a cost for organising this big party. Buying a big white curtain for stage background with a CS logo on it. For e.g- hiring 8-10 security guards, hiring 2 DJ'S & hiring some dj's equipments & printing new big banners etc , which we will put outside on the streets for direction. Decorating the venue with Ballons ect. Buying some candies & whistles. Hiring 2 photographers for pictures. Hiring professional camera videographer. Etc etc. For this all every one will pay 8 LIRA'S (4.5 USD or 3.5 Euros) as a cost at the gate before entry. If anything extra is left with us we will use those funds for our future CS Events. This event we are doing it for our Istanbul community not for any profits
