The Indo-US Chamber of Commerce in Tampa will hold its annual 2008 Banyan Ball Saturday, April 26 at the Tampa Garden Club.
Traditionally, the banyan tree, a tropical Indian fig tree with many aerial roots and branches, has been a meeting place for village representatives and communities to meet and discuss issues of the day. �A longstanding theme of our chamber has been to build bridges within our community, providing a forum fostering relationships and togetherness,� said Samant Sharma, president of Indo-US. �So, it is this symbolic nature of the banyan tree after which we have chosen to name our annual black-tie ball.�
