🇱🇰✨ THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS ✨🇱🇰

Sri Lanka Day 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary—and it was made possible by all of you.

To our wonderful vendors who filled the day with flavor and color, our spirited sports teams, our talented dancers and performers who lit up the stage, our tireless volunteers who worked behind the scenes with love and dedication, our supportive families and friends, and our visionary past presidents and board members—we are deeply grateful.

And most of all, to our incredible community—your energy, pride, and unity transformed this celebration into something truly unforgettable.

Together, we created not just an event, but a day filled with joy, heritage, and togetherness that will be remembered for years to come.
Here’s to the strength of our community and to many more celebrations ahead.

Thank you all..

📚🚨 Here is another opportunity for YOU to help someone in need 🚨📚

During our book drive project, we found that some of the school children need Tamil to English Dictionaries to better read and comprehend the books . We looked into the request and decided to help contribute to the worthy cause of getting the dictionaries to them!

We are looking to fulfill 50 dictionaries to 5 schools in the north and we need your help! If you’re heart proposes to partner with this worthy effort, you can send a Venmo contribution to @slawdc-gw (slide for the QR code)

We will keep you posted on the progress and completion of this project through our social media. For any further questions, please feel free to contact Sandali on 5673774757
