In the summer, we held our BBQ and Sports day. This was a day filled with enthusiasm from everyone. There was no hesitation about participating in the sports events; both children and adults alike took the sports events in the best sportsmanship. Our BBQ too was fantastic, and a lot of hard work had gone into the preparation of the food, but it was enjoyed by everyone. Our latest event so far in the year was Onam. There is no doubt that Onam was one of the most anticipated and most thoroughly enjoyed event of the year. Like every year, we had many dances and songs and exciting skits. A lot of people had dedicated their time in order to make Onam a success, and it paid off. There were a few visitors who were not malayalee who came to watch Onam and they had a great review about the event. Our children too were extremely well behaved, and I would like to thank the parents who kept their children behaved. I hope that our association will continue to grow and be a sense of inspiration for the future generation and other cultures. I’d like to thank everyone for their support throughout the year; I hope that this support will continue always. Thank you all, Anil Thomas, GMA Secretary. 11
