BOSTON– After Red Sox India celebration at Fenway recently, India Association of Greater Boston, known as IAGB, has launched its annual Indian flag hoisting ceremonies in various town during the month of August.
“We have our historic Flag Hoisting events lined up for the next 2 weeks, starting this Saturday Aug. 3,” said IAGB President Tanu Phoenix.
Please see below the schedule of Flag Hoisting schedule:
Earlier, IAGB celebrated the historic Red Sox-IAGB India Celebrations at Fenway in Boston. Red Sox had created 1,800 special tickets with the specially designed India Jersey. All the tickets were sold out.
A highlight of this trendsetter event was the 1st pitch line up. Astronaut Sunita Williams humbled the audience by her astounding message for the Indian American community from the outer space, while another ace astronaut Raja Chari graced the ground making a perfect 1st pitch.
“IAGB feels fortunate along with the community at large to have had these two phenomenal astronauts of Indian descent be the flag bearer of India at Fenway on Monday night. Hearing “Suni” (as Sunita Williams is fondly called at Nasa) mention IAGB was a moment to cherish and hold close to the deepest core of our hearts for years to come,” said Ms. Phoenix. “My team and I felt like we were on cloud nine.”
Ms. Phoenix said that IAGB-Red Sox India Celebrations this past Monday, July 29 is now a treasured memory in the hearts of the community, “thanks to IAGB’s rockstar Executive team and our wonderful community.”
