The Aligarh Alumni Association of Washington, DC (AAA-DC) held its annual summer picnic last week at Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The event was attended by alumni, families, and community members, providing an opportunity for networking and social interaction.
The picnic featured children’s games, informal discussions among alumni, and a community potluck meal, along with barbecue and the association’s traditional “pateeli chai.” Senior alumni shared experiences from their Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) days, while younger members engaged in conversations focused on professional guidance and community involvement.
