  Nepali New Year 2069 BS, Nepal Parade Day & Tree Planting: On April 21, the first day of the celebration, we began with a cultural program at Centauraus High School, Lafayette, CO. The cultural program started at 6:15 pm with presentations of Nepali dances and songs representing some of the diverse regions of Nepal. Many among of the audience and participation were from Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Littleton, Aurora and surrounding areas.

To honor this occasion, RMFN also organized the planting of a grove of Himalayan White Pine (Pinus wallichiana), with its long, graceful blue-green needles and long, slender cones. This is a hardy pine native to the Himalayan Mountains. It grows well at high altitudes. The event took place at Haertling Sculpture Garden, southwest corner of Canyon Boulevard and 9th Street, next to the Boulder Creek at 10:00 AM on April 22, 2012. RMFN would like to thank Mary Malley, Kathleen Alexander, and Kendra Nash of the City of Boulder for their assistance.

The “Nepal Day Parade” followed the tree-planting program. The parade started at 2:00 pm from the Boulder Public Library in Boulder. RMFN and the Nepali international community welcomed one and all to come celebrate and join in our efforts to promote peace and prosperity in the world. We are pleased that Congressman Jared Polis attended as the Guest of Honor for the Nepal Parade Day.
