Dear Friends,

On behalf of the UPAD Board of Trustee, Executive Committee and Executive Members, we welcome you to our 2012 Holi function. The team has worked really hard to put together a high quality entertaining evening for you which in line with what we stand for.

As you would agree, in our nineteen years of existence the demographics of our membership has witnessed substantial change. Despite this, we have ensured that UPADs core values remain the same. We would like to take this opportunity to recap who we are and where we are headed.

Core Values: Our core values are well thought out and have been designed keeping in mind what our membership stands for. UPAD is an organization that is Hindi Centric, Open to all, Well Organized, Family Oriented and Fun Loving.

Purpose: UPAD exists to promote hindi-centric social, cultural and charitable activities.

Mission: UPAD is in the business of bringing the membership together to network and enjoy Indian art, culture and literature through well organized events.

Both of us are really honored and very fortunate to have been given an opportunity to lead this wonderful organization this year too. Your support and assistance has helped us in promoting our Core Values, Purpose and Mission and we assure you of our total commitment and dedication in executing the responsibility bestowed up on us by you. We are going to be organizing various events throughout the year and we look forward to your active participation and support.
