Dear Members and Residents
Greetings to All

First, I thank all the members of our Block Association for choosing me as the Secretary of the Salt Lake City BA Block Sarbojanin Durgotsav and Shyama Puja Committee 2015 as par the decision taken at a Special General Meeting held on 26 July, 2015. I would try my best to be worthy of your trust, and endeavour sincerely to live up to your expectations and also the Block’s rich culture and traditions.

In this context, I would also like to remind you that as per the decision taken at the said Special General Meeting, all bona fide Members of the Block Association will have to pay the minimum subscription of Rs 800 for the Pujas

Now, I am happy to share with you that the Team BA Block for the ensuing Pujas has been formed and approved by the Members of the Salt Lake City BA Block Sarbojanin Durgotsav and Shyama Puja Committee 2015 of the Block Association at a specially convened meeting held on 9 August 2015. One of the key decisions taken at the Meeting was that the inauguration of the Puja will take place on Panchami this year, on 18 October 2015 (Sunday) in the evening.

The Team (the full list is attached; you can also log on to www.bablocksaltlake.com) includes residents of all ages and all walks of life which was set up at the meeting held on 9 August, 2015. We are confident that with all of us coming together and working hand in hand, BA Block will once again live up to the occasion to experience yet another year of bliss and joy during the festival.

I am also happy to inform you that we will bring out a colourful Durga Puja Souvenir this time too.
