Respected Community members,
The Exeutive Committee (EC) (of the America Nepal Society – ANS) would like to extend sincere greetings to all on the starting of the festival seasons – Vijay Dashami, Tihar, Chath & Nepal Sambat. We’d like to made the following announcements:
ANS Announcement: 50 year Golden Jubilee Celebration
ANS is the Premier Nepali Organization established in 1967 by gathering few Nepali students, and friends of Nepal; the first organization to carry the Nepali flag and promote the Nepali culture and tradition in USA. Thousands of Nepali nationals, people of Nepali Origin and Friends of Nepal have devoted precious volunteer hours to this organization and to the Nepali Community. Now it’s our privilege in the history to take this journey forward. We request the entire Nepali Community and Friends of Nepal living all around the US to join us in celebrating the Golden Years of the Nepali Community in the United States.
The ANS executive committee has decided to celebrate 2017 as the Nepali Heritage Year- 2017. A special committee- ANS Golden Jubliee Celebration Committee is being formed under the leadership of our current President Mr. Jewan Tiwari for this purpose.
In order to work on this historic occasion and considering the rare moment in the ANS history, the current Executive Committee (which was elected unopposed in the last election – October 2014), has decided to extend its term for another year (until October 31, 2017) within the framework of Article V 1(a) and Article XI of the current bylaws. While the EC will continue to function regular ANS activities, the 50th Year Celebration Committee will work and focus exclusively for the 50th year anniversary.
The current Executive Committee (EC) will seek volunteers on need basis to support its planned activities in 2017. This announcement will also be officially shared during the “Annual Dashai Tihar, Chait, Nepal Sambat: Meet & Greet”
President Tiwari has planned to reach out to all the past ANS EC members and other legally registered organization in the DMV area to discuss the model of the 50th Anniversary celebration. The EC sincerely appreciates everybody’s cooperation throughout its term and expects similar support for another year, extended in a special circumstance shared above.
An election committee will be formed in July 2017 to conduct next election in October 2017 and the EC will also announce the details related to the election then.
