Recently, the Lonavala Khandala Parsi Zarthusthi Anjuman (LKPZA) held its yearly get-together at the Adenwala Agiary Compound, after a gap of three years, due to the pandemic. The Adenwala Agairy Compound was well- decorated – colourfully lit to accommodate 200 guests with a dance floor and a live band. The program started with a free game of Housie with attractive cash prizes for all guests.

Percy Master, Trustee – LKPZA gave the welcome address, extending gratitude to guests for their continued support for the event. A minute’s silence was observed and prayers were conducted in memory of Nargish Balaporia, senior trustee and Vice President, who passed away during the pandemic. Percy thanked the donors and trustees for their unflinching assistance – Sarosh Dinshaw for his support to the Anjuman and for the use of the Agiary compound; Er. Zarin Tata and his family were felicitated for looking after the Agiary; and Rashida Shroff was thanked for her back office work through the year.

He informed about lending financial assistance to Lonavala Khandala institutions like SAMVAD, Nab Lions Home for Aging Blind and for animals, and for education of Bungalow owners’ care-taker’s and mali’s (gardener’s) children, specially girls. All this funding was possible due to the generosity of the magnanimous donors.

The live band took over, entertaining guests with foot-tapping music, which continued till late, alongside cocktails and a sumptuous dinner, making the function a big success.
