DURGA PUJA 2006

GRBA proudly announces it's 13th Durga Puja celebrations from Friday, September 29 through Sunday, October 1, 2006 at Bon Air Community Center. This is a special year for us as we purchased a new Durga Protima. We also received non-profit tax exempt status from IRS. To celebrate this year, we have extended the Durga Puja by one extra day and made it into a 3-day event. We have some special programs this year and cordially invite you to grace the Puja with your presence.
