Events Recap

Here’s a warm note of THANKS, to the ICON (Indian Community of Needham), Dr. Raja Sheikh and his fantastic team for honoring me as the Chief Guest at their annual Diwali Cultural event, and for their warm & gracious hospitality extended to me and my officers Vice President Nilesh Agrawal and Treasurer Deepak Garg.

I continue to feel honored and blessed to have addressed the bright Indian American community of Needham and Dedham as the President of India Association of Greater Boston, IAGB.

We are at an evolving juncture within and beyond the community. People apart, countries apart – hate & violence creating agony and heartaches. I pledge to spread LOVE by continuing with my approach of “Aspire, Attempt & Achieve” to see IAGB work together as a diverse Community wherein we act responsibly, reliably, and efficiently, respect the community and beyond, embrace differences or conflict of opinions with empathy and understanding, hold each other with love while encouraging and soliciting open communication among and between each other.

Your poised meet & greet, your heartwarming stage felicitations given to us, your enthusiastic and unique performance items, the delectable food, the warm ‘chai’, the freshly made “Gajar ka Halwa” and the nostalgic “Chitrahaar” were treats to remember!
Thank you for relating to IAGB’s commitment in upholding our community as a place where our fellow community members can enjoy superior quality of civic, socio-cultural, educational and community service and Pan-India engagements.

Together, let us raise a toast to our commitment in upholding the Indian American community’s interest as its advocate & culture champion.

We value our community deeply and look forward to collaborating and corroborating ever more. Let’s work together to build a stronger community.

Onwards & Upwards,
Yours truly,
Tanu Phoenix, President, IAGB
