Thank You from IANH for making Vasant Festival 2017 a Success!

"Hearty Thanks" to all those who attended the IANH Vasant Festival 2017 to make it a Grand success! With over 300 participants performing in the competitive and non-competitive segments across the multiple age groups, IANH Vasant Festival 2017 was attended by over a thousand community members to celebrate the spirit of spring while over a dozen vendors made their way to showcase their products. We want to Thank our Grand Sponsor Global Adult Daycare Health Centre and our Gold sponsors Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare for their great support. We also want to Thank all volunteers who selflessly helped to run the show including the IANH Youth group volunteers. The Outstanding decorations and backdrops done by Ambika Mangtani and Kruti Shah added glitter to the entire stage.

Kudos to all the participants who put their heart and soul in their performances along with showcasing their creative props and costumes to set the standards high. At the end, they all were winners and deserved a Big round of applaud. We also appreciate teachers, parents and choreographers for their hard work to bring out the best of the talent in their kids/students. We also want to Thank our judges - Swati Subramanian, Sheetal Kelkar, Alka Arora and Shikha Bajpai for judging dance competitions as well as Sunanda Sahay and Gopika Narula for judging Art contest. The delicious food by Unnati Cafe and Udipi Restaurant was a great attraction as well. In addition to the NSF Educational Bees Award and Youth service Awards, the charity check disbursement for SOWDEWS was done by the IANH youth group. Overall the IANH Vasant Festival turned out as a true celebration of the Spring season that rejuvenated the spirits of the whole community.
