Dear Visitor ji,

Dr Shanti Reddy

FINACT had a great start to the new year. In this issue we highlight a few selected activities completed in February. Please see our Facebook page for a complete list.

Preparations are in full swing for the AusIndia Fair on 2 April 2022, from 12pm to 6pm at Thoroughbred Park. Thanks to the ACT Government for allowing the safe return of events in Canberra.

The FINACT AusIndia team is working hard to put on a great entertainment show this year. Entry and car parking is free, however, we ask all guests to please register here, in order for us to follow COVID Safe Event Guidance.

All Canberrans are invited to join the celebrations and enjoy cultural performances, food, henna tattoo, face painting, kids activities, and much more.

Looking forward to seeing you all on 2 April. Stay COVID safe!

Dr Shanti Reddy

FINACT President

Meetings with Senator Zed Seselja &

David Smith MP

FINACT EC had a productive meeting with Senator Zed Seselja, Minister for International Development and the Pacific on 23 February. We also had a virtual meeting with David Smith MP, Member for Bean on 25 February.

We discussed upcoming activities - international students meet & greet, General Council meeting, International Women's Day seminar and most importantly our flagship event AusIndia Fair on 2 April. We conveyed the immediate need for a decent size community facility for celebrating multicultural events in Canberra. It is time we address this gap.

Sponsorship Appreciated for FINACT Events

We understand that one of the main reasons to sponsor a tournament and any event could be to promote one’s business and generate goodwill in the community. Sponsoring the FINACT events will give you brand recognition among the fastest-growing community group of Indians in the ACT and increase sales or traffic to sponsor’s website through their banner on our website (www.finact.net.au ).

Indians are the fastest growing population in Australia. This has resulted in increased air traffic between India and Australia; increased telecommunication; and enhanced trade and cultural ties. For sporting events - players and their supporters make playing cricket a fiercely competitive and memorable event. They will promote the game and use your services to show their appreciation.

In addition to providing an excellent opportunity to connect with the Indian sub-continent communities, the FINACT events' sponsorship will:

enable sponsors to reach out to wider community groups in ACT and surrounds
fulfil sponsors business objectives and attract sizeable potential customers
provide a lasting impression of their business
promote sports and physical activities in the community
motivate and assist young players participating in the tournament and community activities
attract favourable feedback from organisers and media partners
generate great feel-good stories in Indian community and back to India and neighbouring countries and
fulfil sponsor’s corporate and social responsibilities

If you are willing to or interested in sponsoring our events, please contact us soon.
