It was the morning of April 19, 2008. Rain-clouds were still floating but the silver lining was prominent and it was reflected on the waters of Lake Lanier.  Amidst the serenity and the beautiful green surroundings, a black and white banner, which read "Bengali Association of Greater Atlanta", was proudly waving its presence, as if it was trying to congratulate those who worked very hard to make the Picnic such a grand success!

It was a charming day with sun-shine and a lovely spring breeze. There was no end to having fun: kids went to the lake shore to collect shells, ladies danced with music, some played cricket, some relaxed, while others laughed; then came the time to enjoy the most relishing food, the taste of which is still lingering in our mouth.

The attendance exceeded 140. There were about 10 new faces who made us their friends that day. Newcomers: I want to welcome you again to BAGA and invite you to shape our future dreams together!
