"We have our annual Holi event coming up on April 17th. It is the Indian festival of colours that signifies the end of winter and welcomes the coming of spring. People celebrate Holi by throwing rung (coloured powder) at their friends and loved ones. This event is free and open to the entire community...and it's a lot of fun!"

shanks, maahey, jheem, anyone: What does holi mean? And I'd like to hear more about the festival, too.
