• Eligibility for nomination for next year’s Executive council

Bhindeshi is planning to organize multiple community engagement, community service and cultural events throughout 2021 using virtual platforms and in-person events later this year (depending on COVID-19 advisories in effect at the time). Bhindeshi will continue with the Bangla class program and Bhinkotha Magazine from previous year’s initiatives, recognizing the overwhelming response from our community and even globally for these endeavors. Here is a list of a few events that are being planned this year following COVID-19 advisory.

• Poush Parbon in January
• Bani Bandana in February
• Summer picnic in July or August
• Sharod Utsav in October
• Multiple virtual events throughout the year based on diverse themes

Bhindeshi strongly believes in giving back to the community. We will hold four community engagement programs this year (listed above), in collaboration with other local non-profit organizations. For events with limited participant capacity, Bhindeshi members will get the first opportunity/ preference to get involved.

• Every youth member participating in our community engagement events will be presented with an official Bhindeshi appreciation letter that can contribute to their portfolio of community services as they prepare for their respective college careers.

*Above mentioned rates do not include food costs for the events. Food will be available for purchase at discounted rates per event.
