ए एन ए को एकता सम्मेलन हेर्न चाहने, सबै नेपालीहरु मिलेको, एक भएको सन्देश डिसीमा हेर्न लालायित हामी र हामी जस्ता कुनै गुटबन्दीमा सामेल नभएका नेपालीहरुका लागि अत्यन्त दु:खद खबर प्राप्त भएको छ । अझै पनि २४ घण्टा बाँकी छ ए एन ए बिबाद मिलाउन सकिन्छ र यसमा कृयासिल हुन सबै सम्बद्ध पक्ष लागुन, यो नियम कानुन भएको देश हो, नेपालको पाराले यहाँ चल्दैन र यो लडाईं नरोकिए ए एन ए का थुप्रै मान्छेहरु लाई अदालती कार्वाही गरिएको समाचार छाप्नुपर्ने दिन आउने छ, हामी चाहन्छौँ त्यस्तो समाचार हामीले छाप्नु नपरोस, त्यो दिन देख्नु नपरोस, तर दुबै पक्षका कृयाकलापले त्यो सँकेत देखाउदैछ ।
"छेवाङ शेर्पा लामा नामका एक नेपाली ब्यक्ती जसले अध्यक्ष्य सिमोन ढुंगानालाई गलत प्रयोग गर्दै पुरै ए एन ए को बिधान बिपरित चल्न र एक पछी अर्को गल्ती गर्दै संस्था भित्र अराजकता फैलाउन खोजेकाले, बारम्बार अनुरोध गर्दा पनि टेरपुच्छर नलगाएकोले, ए एन ए सम्मेलनका नाममा बिधान बिपरित र अबैधानिक कार्य भएकोले हामी अदालत जान वाध्य भयौँ " भन्दै ए एन ए का एक जना भन्दा बाहेकका सम्पूर्ण पूर्व अध्यक्ष्यहरु, बिधान अनुसार छानिएका भनिएका नब निर्बाचित पदाधिकारीहरु, बहुमत आजिबन सदस्य हरु, ए एन ए का संस्थापकरुले अदालत को ढोका घच्घच्याएका छौं" भन्दै नेपाल मदर डट कम लाई पठाएको म्यासेज हामी जस्ताको तस्तै यहाँ राख्दै छौं । हामीले पुर्बाग्रह नराखी दुबै पक्षका भनाइ शुरुदेखी राख्दै आएका छौं र राख्ने छौं तर बिधान, नियम कानुन अनुसार काम कारबाही हुनु सबैका लागि राम्रो हो, अझै पनि २४ घण्टा बाँकी छ ए एन ए बिबाद मिलाउन सकिन्छ र यसमा कृयासिल हुन सबै सम्बद्ध पक्ष लागुन, यो नियम कानुन भएको देश हो, नेपालको पाराले यहाँ चल्दैन र यो लडाईं नरोकिए ए एन ए का थुप्रै मान्छे हरुलाई अदालती कार्वाही गरिएको समाचार छाप्नुपर्ने दिन आउने छ, हामी चाहन्छौँ त्यस्तो समाचार हामीले छाप्नुनपरोस, त्यो दिन देख्नु नपरोस, तर दुबै पक्षका कृयाकलापले त्यो सँकेत देखाउदैछ ।
कबिता : हामी नेपालीको चाला !
अमेरिका आएर पनि, पदकै लागि लडाईं भाछ
नयाँ जोगी जता पनि, पदकै लागि लड्न गाछ
लोग्नेमान्छे भएर मात्र, महिला संघ छोडे उनले
उनै सबथोक भए, हुन्न भन्छ हेरौ कुनले ?!
ठुलै पद चाहिने उनलाई, परे आखिर नयाँ जोगी
जय जयकार खोज्छन अझै, पदका यी लोभी भोगी
बुद्धी सुद्धी छेत्री माले, चाकडीमा माहिर कती
दुनियाँले लाज मान्छ, उनलाई लाज छैन रती !

यो सम्मेलन "नेपाली सम्मेलन" भनिए हुन्छ तर ए एन ए सम्मेलन भन्न पाइदैन, बिधान बिपरित का कार्य हुने सम्मेलन लाई ए एन ए सम्मेलन को रुपमा मान्यता दिन सकिदैन भन्दै सम्मेलन बहिस्कार को घोषणा गरेका पूर्व अध्यक्ष्यहरु, बहुमत आजिबन सदस्य हरु, ए एन ए का संस्थापकरुले "यो भिड लाई साथ दिने हरुले पनि सोचुन, नेपाली राजदुत डा शंकर शर्मा पनि त्यहा समाबेश भएर गैर कानुनी भिडलाई साथ दिएर बिबाद मा नपरुन" भन्दै सम्मेलनमा आउने अमेरिकि कङ्रेस म्यान र भि आइ पि हरु सबैले कार्यक्रम क्यान्सिल गरेको समेत दाबी गरिएको छ । यस सम्बन्धमा संपर्क गर्दा अमेरिकाका लागि नेपाली राजदुत डा शंकर शर्माले "आफुलाइ पनि अप्ठ्यारो परेको र आफुले अवस्थालाई नजिकबाट नियालिरहेको, बिबाद हुनु, नेपाली बिच फुट हुनु दु:खको कुरा भएको, मिल्न, एक हुन" आग्रह गर्नुभयो। बर्तमान अध्यक्ष्य सिमोन ढुंगाना ले दुई दिन सम्म संपर्क गर्दा फोन उठाउनुभएन । सम्मेलन संयोजक हेमन्त श्रेष्ठ आफु अझै पनि ए एन ए को बिबाद सुल्झेको हेर्न चाहेको पक्षमा रहेको र यसमा सबैको साथ हुने बताउँदै आउनुभएको छ । यो समाचार प्रकासित भैसकेपछि हामीलाई फोन गरी सम्मेलन सँयोजक श्रेष्ठले भन्नुभयो "लिगल प्रोसेस चल्दै गर्छ, अदालती कुराको हामीले सम्मान गर्नै पर्छ तर मत मतान्तरलाई एकैछिन थाँती राखेर डिसी सम्मेलन सफल पारौँ, मैले सबै पक्ष सँग यो सम्मेलन सफल पार्न हार्दिक अनुरोध गर्दछु " "हामीलाई फुटेको होइन जुटेको ए एन ए देउ" नेपाल मदर डट कम यही आग्रह गर्दछ फेरी पनि। हेर्नुस् एटोर्नीले सिमोन ढुंगानालाई काटेको पुर्जी ।

Press Release
I am extremely delighted to read a letter from an attorney office representing few individuals that strongly asserts the election 2011 of ANA officers for 2011-2013 has not been completed. Indeed, the election committee has just released the name of nominated candidates for ANA election. In this light, as presidential candidate, I thank the attorney for listening ANA members' legal voice. The unity and integrity among all of us should be our most elementary and fundamental purpose that can be achieved through a fair and democratic election to be held soon. See you all at the DC convention!

ANA IN LAST TWENTY EIGHT YEARS
By Arun Sharma
28 years ago a group of Nepalis met at Corning NY with a vision. The result of that meeting was culmination of largest diaspora organization in North America with its name recognition unparallel, unsurpassed and unprecedented in diaspora’s history. Its Annual convention continues to draw largest crowd internationally year. Thousands join every year for social and intellectual interactions around July 4th the Independence Day weekend in the USA. Its modest Cultural Center at Lanham, MD brings hundreds of Nepalis every week for various spiritual and social needs. Both are the major milestone achievements for the North American Nepali Community.
The objective of the Association is promotion, preservation of Nepali identity and culture, educational assistance and building of Nepali Cultural Center. It has provided notable and remarkable service to the community for over a quarter of century and continues to do so.
We the members have created history together with a vision of co-operation and camaraderie working together towards these shared goals and objectives while also forging our friendship and identities together. By bringing Nepalis across continents with diverse interests less than one common roof the ANA has provided a largest platform for all to join and share each others ideas and visions in volunteering and philanthropy
Our Annual Convention: A Landmark in itself
Our Annual Convention event has become a biggest annual meet for Nepali diaspora in North America with international flavors exploring newer frontiers in volunteering, philanthropy, sharing of knowledge and resources along with variety of entertainments catering to the taste of diverse spectrum of peoples and with various roots. The music and the beats are on every year connecting us all too various regional sounds and songs. Since our beginning we have taken the message of friendship and partnership all around the USA from North to South, East to the West and from Mid West to South West, from Canada to California, from Dallas to Denver, Boston to Baltimore to San Francisco we renew and rekindle commitments and mutual friendship every year, year after year.
The Annual convention is typically a three days event while it is fun filled, loaded with entertainment also has intellectually stimulating programs and plenty of volunteering opportunities. A successful convention is a product of hard work and determination of so many people’s drive to excel every single year. There are team oriented efforts and goal to excel each year. Various new ideas are encouraged, solicited and implemented to suit the palates of all. These contributions come from large number of people all across the cities, States along with global flavors.
Since 1993 (Southern California Convention), we have realized reaching out to communities across America is the best way to connect with the diverse and wide spread population of diasporas. With a well defined program and well set format a new team every year is the driver making things happen blending it with local sound beats and taste. It is the local folks who design, organize and put together an excellent show with renewed commitment to quality. Denver 2003 was one of the best examples of newer generation taking charge and putting an excellent show. The 2004 Convention at Phoenix was also led by young folks under the guidance of senior ANA members. Phoenix Convention itself is an example of an efficient Convention by a smallest number of volunteers. Also in 2004 we introduced NRN Movement in North America first of its kind with a resounding success. Boston in 1989 was the first Convention where the idea of adding intellectual dimension in the form of forums came into being for the first time in our history. Los Angeles 2007 proved to us we can we can fill the hotel with enthusiastic crowd, put together a quality program all led by young local team blended with efficiency and style with some profit for our philanthropic needs. Many younger folks continue to come up with newer ideas and jumping into the frays of action. We seize their energy, drive and the enthusiasm to translate into a meaningful actions year. Every year we energize, electrify and galvanize large numbers of volunteers around various part of America and bring it all together to a new spot with a renewed spirit. That in essence is our recipe! A winner’s credo!!
We thank all volunteers who have given a hand, and made this organization bigger and better with innovative ideas, hard work and dedication. Without there endless efforts, tireless work, spirit, energy and enthusiasm we would not be celebrating our communion today. We share our vision and dreams with all who came forward to be a part of this ongoing journey of excellence and perfection which is a never ending journey.
This Association is at this critical juncture needs the care takers to come together and save its very existence. The cost of NOT coming together is enormous is NOT an understatement.

While respecting individual liberty to express personal views, the fact remains that no individual opinions can impose official declaration to be tailored differently to please a pool of members only. ANA-DC Convention is the official yearly convention of the Association of Nepalis in Americas (ANA) for 2011.
About Unity in ANA
While vast majority of ANA members are united, it is unfortunate that a pool of few individuals are not satisfied in panic of loosing their elite authority as in the past. The other pool of few individuals siding with the unsatisfied individuals can be understood, and respected as a friend supporting a friend regardless. Rest assured that we are all for unity. We invite any members in Nepalis community (including those who are dissatisfied) for unity cause to have a civilized and mutually respectful dialogue amongst us with open mind, fairness and institutional integrity of a nonprofit community organization as our guidelines. We reject “unity” with the attitude to impose individual commands and compel self-desires to others, as such practices are out-dated.
Thank you,
