IIRCC Last Event- Holi
Thank you for the tremendous response to our last annual IRCC Holi celebration at CB Smith Park on Sunday, March 20th! More than 500 community members of all age groups joined the celebration this year in keeping with our mission to promote Indian culture in the South Florida region. This was clearly well above all our expectations and presented some logistical challenges. A big Thank You to all IRCC committee members who had put in a lot of hours and effort to prepare fresh homemade food. This ensures not only that the food is fresh, but helps keep our costs low which in turn allows us to offer this event to our community members at highly reasonable rates.
We also want to extend our appreciation for many of our community members who voluntarily chose to help with cleaning and organization both during and after the event. We would like to especially thank Rita Seth, Nalini & Raju Maniar, Daksha Vakharia, Alka Sawhney, Achala Gupta, Radhika Garg, Chetan Shukla, Deepak, Dipti Mankame, Ashi Wadhwa, Bipin Seth, Mudit Jain, Anju Thaker, Nidhi Gupta, Krishan Garg, Vivek Swaroop, Johnny DJ, and Amit Mistry.

IRCC Board is looking for volunteers to help on the day of the event from 8.00am till midnight.
