Respected Community Members and Friends,

Happy New Year 2014. NAH wishes you all health, happiness, peace and prosperity in the new year and in the coming years.

This is just a reminder for you to mark your calendar and join us in the New Year for a picnic at Bear Branch Park in The Woodlands with your friends and family to have fun at NAH Annual Picnic gathering on Saturday, January 11th, 2014 from 12:30 PM to 05:00 PM. This picnic will immediately follow after the first ever “NAH Cup Soccer Tournament Final” and the Prize Distribution Ceremony.

If you want to watch the Finals of the NAH Cup Soccer Tournament and support your favorite team, you are advised to come early as possible, since the game starts right at 11:00 AM. There will also be an award ceremony immediately ensuing the finals. However, please note that the soccer venue is different than the picnic venue and is just across the street from one another.

We will have fun filled activities like games, singing and dancing throughout the day and of course a Bingo!! to keep you all entertained. Delicious snacks, lunch and drinks will be provided. To make the event more enjoyable, we would appreciate if you could bring (if you have):
