From Our President: ""We all enjoyed a fun filled three weeks of autumn festivity. It started with Bharatela where BANE partnered with Indian Association of Nebraska to present a nice collage of Bengal's rich cultural heritage. The Annual Sarbojonin Durga Puja was celebrated with pomp and grandeur. I am thankful to everyone for the hard work and dedicated participation. The Puja cultural program was certainly one of the best we ever presented. We were glad to have Mr. Satinath Mukherjee as our honored guest at the Bijoya Sammilani. Mr. Mukherjee's poetic renderings were certainly the evening highlight along with the dances and song medleys. All these successful events tell the same story - your support and help for the cause of Bengali culture. A very happy Bijoya to all from your own Bengali Association of Nebraska." I want thank all those who helped in every possible way. It was an event for all, and could not be done without all. We wanted to make this puja a true sarbojanin celebration, and we did it."
