The emergence of Worcester County Bengali Association (WCBA) started almost 20 years back, with about 10 -12 Bengali families who lived in Worcester county area.
In regular weekend gathering of these few families, a thought of forming a small community was discussed and with the encouragement and support from each other an informal association was created. The idea was to keep it small and closely knit within this group and plan on organizing a few programs which will be related to Bengali culture and religion.
Saraswati Puja used to be our main function in those days. However, constant enthusiasm and deep willingness of every one in the group, later in year 2001, WCBA launched first Durga Puja celebration. In the mean time some more families have joined this organization and we are now about 20-22 families, who jointly plan, organize and manage all our functions successfully.
