STAFFORD: The Indo American Forum of Fort Bend, focuses its efforts solely on supporting the underprivileged, undeserved and needy in Fort Bend County, by supporting charities in the area providing assistance through education, shelter, food, healthcare and familial and substance abuse.

After launching a fun filled Fall Opener, a Hawaiian Luau evening, complete with Pacific Drums and Hula Dancers, and a successful membership drive and general body meeting, on the open deck of Madras Pavilion, overlooking the tropical waterways of Sugar Land, it set the stage for its signature event, the Navratri Garba.

This past Saturday, September 24, the Stafford Center came alive to the rocking rhythm and music of Darshak Thacker , Kashmira Nayak, Hardik Jani, and Kamal Haji as a thousand plus crowd danced its way into the Navratri Season with much fanfare and fun. Udipi Café provided much needed refreshments and the ever-popular sugar cane juice to quench thirsty souls.
