From the President's Desk
Hello everyone! As summer draws to a close and schools reopen, it's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. This summer has been filled with bustling activity, particularly centered around ICON. Our efforts were focused on organizing and executing the Rakhi and India Day events. These occasions hold great significance for us, and their success was the result of meticulous planning and dedication. As we take a breather and unwind, our sights are already set on the upcoming Garba event scheduled for October 14th. We are also planning to conduct a financial literacy workshop for high school students in the coming months. Stay tuned for more details. Thank you all for your unwavering support and commitment.
