🌸 স্বাগতম — আমাদের পরিবারে স্বাগত!
নমস্কার ! 🙏
Whether you just joined or have been with us a while — welcome to our paribar. BAMM is a community of Bengalis and friends of Bengali culture across Mid Missouri — Columbia, Jefferson City, Kirksville, Rolla, Springfield, and beyond.
We are scholars, professionals, artists, families, and students who love Tagore as much as street food, Rabindra Sangeet as much as modern cinema, and spirited debate as much as strong tea. ☕
🎉 WHAT WE CELEBRATE TOGETHER
🔴 Saraswati Pujo — Cultural, open to all
🟡 Dol Utsav — Community only
🟢 Poila Boishakh — Bengali New Year
🟡 Summer Picnic — Family fun
🔴 Durga Pujo — Cultural, open to all
🟢 Bijoya — Mishti & adda
📋 A FEW COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
01 · Respect every member — new or long-standing, student or elder
02 · Keep discussions constructive — debate ideas, not people
03 · Honor your commitments — events run on collective effort
04 · No politics, religious disputes, or divisive content in this group
05 · Celebrate each other generously — every performance, every dish counts
