Brief description of India Association of Davis

 

India Association of Davis (IAD)


India Association of Davis (IAD) was established in 1987 to represent the Asian Indian community in Davis. The most important objectives of the organization are to educate Davis and neighboring communities about the cultural heritage of India and promote cross-cultural understanding through various programs. IAD also provides our children an opportunity to learn our culture and share it with the local community.


Over the years, IAD has hosted charitable, educational, and cultural programs. Typically, the membership year starts with the India Independence Day celebrations, and then we celebrate Diwali, Republic Day, Holi, and a Summer Picnic. In addition, we go camping in the summer. The Diwali festivities are the largest public event for Indians in Davis.


Please become an IAD member today. Make a difference in yours and your family's lives. Annual membership is valid from September 1st of one year to August 31st of the following year. Membership dues are very reasonable: family membership is only $50 annually. Discount rate of $25 is available for students/scholars and individual members.


Membership helps the association by keeping it active and moving forward. In appreciation, all members receive periodic newsletters and discounted tickets to all IAD events. Some events are even free for members! IAD also provides food and drinks at many events for no charge.


To sustain IAD, we need the community to take an active part and volunteer their time and talents. Please contact the IAD committee members with your ideas or if you are interested in volunteering for any of the IAD events. Any help is always deeply appreciated.
