Welcome!
We, the members of the India
Association of Fort Myers welcome
you to our Community Website. Unlike
some of the bigger cities, we are a
growing community with about 190
member families. Although not every
family belongs to the Association,
all Indians, Pakistanis &
Bangladeshis enjoy the festivities
held by the India Association of
Fort Myers. The Association thrives
by the involvement of its members.
So, we highly encourage every
Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi to
become a member
and take an active part in the India
Association.
The India Association has played
a very important role in molding the
lives of our children. Through many
events and activities, it exposes
them to Indian culture and our rich
heritage, which they would not
experience living outside the
country. One of such event is the
India Fest,
held every year during the spring.
It gives us an opportunity to share
our rich culture with the American
people. Thousands of Americans &
Indians flock to this event every
year to enjoy the delicious food,
eye-catching costumes, breath-taking
dances, and exciting merchandise
from our native country.
Apart from the India Fest we also
celebrate our most popular festivals
such as
Diwali,
Holi,
Republic Day,
Independence day,
etc. Visit the
Photo Gallery and
see our children enjoying
themselves. The India Association
also makes sizable charity
contributions to a number of
different institutions like The
American Red Cross, Humane Society,
City of Fort Myers, and many, many
more, contributions which were
funded by our members & their
families. We also encourage our
members to take advantage of the
Scholarships that
are provided to our children. You
will find information about them on
this website.
Now that we are
entering into the 20th year of the
establishment of the India
Association of Fort Myers we are
faced with newer challenges which we
will be taking upon ourselves very
proudly. Once again we encourage
every member or non-member to take
an active part in contributing to
the prosperous existence of our
India Association. |
