(New this year!) Oct 20 - Diwali, An Indian Festival - Staff Appreciation Lunch

Diwali is the "Festival of Lights," a significant holiday for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Its significance varies across regions and religions, but most traditions involve the lighting of lamps, decorating homes with colorful rangoli patterns, exchanging gifts and sweets, and spending time with family. This year, we are celebrating Diwali by appreciating our "Gurus" (teachers & faculty) at a special lunch.
