Happy Holidays

Team IAALV

 

Dear Esteemed Members of Our Community:

It is time to reflect on 2014 and provide a yearend report for your organization.

This has been a record setting year. By adopting many systemic processes; focusing on the people we serve and presenting ‘Composite India’ in our Lehigh Valley, Team IAALV created excitement among the Lehigh Valley Indian-Americans.

IAALV Team volunteers, with their ideas, attention to details, and above all their dedication to do something meaningful during every program this year, have motivated the community to be part of this important organization as participants and officers. A good sign – moving forward.

I am elated to say that Team IAALV accomplishments in2014 are too numerous to list here. These are listed in our year end newsletter which in the mail and is also available on our website – www.iaalv.org.

Well-wishers contributed more than $10,000 to support IAALV in 2014. We remain indebted to them for their generosity and support.

Membership is the mainstay of any organization and IAALV is no different. IAALV paid membership is very low. With less than $1 a week you can help working for the community. Small financial support from all can produce some lasting effect on our community.

To those who are not yet involved, consider becoming a member and/or an officer in 2015, and/or financially contributing to IAALV. Your participation and contribution gives us a voice to express our relevance and importance not just within the community, but through IAALV, in the region. Alone we can achieve some things but together we are an agent of change and betterment.

We look forward to seeing you during IAALV’s activities in the near future.

LONG LIVE IAALV! GOD BLESS US ALL AS WE FORGE AHEAD!

 

Ashim Bhowmick—President

We Care For The Community, We Live In.

Together Let Us Show Lehigh Valley That We Truly Mean It.

Celebrating 42 years and creating a future for 5,000 plus Indian-Americans in the Lehigh Valley!
