Dear Mahbub Bhai,
Thank you very much for kind sentiments expressed in your letter. We, the Consulate General believe in working in partnership with our community to advance our national interest and help foster unity in the community. Our participation in Bangladesh Day Parade has once again manifested such interest.
Anyway, I would like to thank you and other members of the community who untiringly worked under your leadership to make the Parade a great success. Hope that you all will keep this up.
Was-Salaam

(Bangladesh Consul General in Los Angeles)
Dear Zafar Bhai,
We thank you very very much for your support, help, attendance, and participation in the Bangladesh day celebration with Parade last weekend. We also thank you for inviting many of the Consul Generals of various countries. We also thank your family and colleagues for their attendance and participation.
Your participation in hoisting the Bangladesh Flag near the stage and also at the Parade front-stage, your talk at the Seminar, your Awards giving to the Children and to the BUFLA members (particularly to Major Kutubi), your walking in the Parade with the Dignitaries, your attendance at the cultural program with Bhabi, all of these things added high precious values to our Celebration of the Bangladesh Day Parade. It gave us lot of confidence for now and for the future.
We feel very happy about how everything went for the Bangladesh day celebration with Parade. The entire Shatto stage area, the assembly area and the booth areas were filled with the big crowd of our beloved Bangladeshi people. All the food booths, clothings and other specialties were good part of the Mela of the Bangladesh day celebration.
The Seminar on the Environmental theme with the UNO Award winner Dr. Atiq Rahman, Amader shomoy Editor Mr. Moinul Islam Khan, Dean & professor Dr. Wali Mondal, Mr. Ismail Hossain and yourself was really of high quality and very educational.
The children's program was the largest in LA todate with over 225 kids participating in the Arts competition and the Bengali poem recitation competition combined. We are looking forward to an even bigger program for the Kids.
The festive view of the Parade opening ceremony with yourself and the County Sherrif on the stage with flag hoisting on the open road and the melodious National anthems in the air, and the many colourfully dressed groups of various organizations of our community with baloons and band party was just so pleasant that I could feel Bangladesh rising up in the land of America !!!!! The big major road of Los Angeles, the Vermont Avenue was shut down for the Bangladesh Day parade and this road was flooded with Bangladshi people from the 4th Street to the 6th Street, as the Parade continued to move forward on this road.
The cultural programs in both days were of high quality and very entertaining, with many local artists as well as with polular Momtaz from Bangladesh, who got many of the audiences dancing on the grass field in front of the stage with her beautiful songs. We hope you enjoyed it.
We have declared that we will do this Bangladesh day celebration with Parade again next year on March 28-29, 2009 (Saturday and Sunday) at Shatto Recreation center and on Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. We hope you will join us then again.
I am also very thankful to all of our community members, all the community leaders, all the organizational leaders and volunteers for their support and attendance in this festive event.
Thank you again very much. With best regards,
Mahbub Khan
