On October 25, we hosted a Diwali Celebration in collaboration with the South Asian Families of Wilmette.
Our program began with Culture in Motion dance studio founder, Reemlee Chowdhury, leading a fantastic Bollywood dance class, which has quickly become a wonderful annual tradition for our celebration. More than 100 people joined us afterwards for diya painting, fireworks painting, stories, rangoli coloring, paper lantern making, and mehndi, followed by delicious treats.
Thank you to Shefali, Henna By Parvin, especially her assistant Aliyah, who joined us today, Reemlee, our volunteers and helpers, and everyone who helped out for their hard work partnering with us!
Thank you to everyone in our community who helped make this celebration so joyful and brought more light into the world!
