General Manager Michael Kelly wished Asian American Association (AAA) members and friends a Shubh Diwali, or Happy Diwali, at the AAA’s observance of the ancient festival celebrating the victory of good over evil, held in the DC 37 headquarters on October 25. “For more than 21 years, the Asian American Association has enriched NYCHA by adding holidays like the Diwali festival to our calendar, and insights to our understanding,” the GM remarked. The lighting of the Diwali lamp, symbolizing the victory of darkness over light, was followed by the customary luncheon enjoyed by AAA members and their many friends.
