23 Nisan is coming!!! . It is the date for first Turkish Assembly and the first step in the Turkish democracy and republic. Moreover it was dedicated by Ataturk to our children – a first in the world. We all have fond memories of Children’s Day from our younger days. Now we are trying to teach our children our history, culture and importance of this day through ATASC schools and ATASC Annual Children’s Day Festival.
Remember this is not only for us, but for our next generation. Please be a part of the activities. Pleas come to the Children’s Day Festival in Long Beach, volunteer if you can, donate, sponsor, come to the fundraiser… We as a community can only be successful if we all do and give what we can. Please show your full support for this worthwhile cause and make it a success.
