We had a meeting on September 12th, Sunday afternoon at 2 PM SaiMurali on what's happening in TAMA and what should we do about it. We discussed in length if we might be better off separating from the quarrels, mass membership drives, and manipulations. TAMA was started in 1981 when there were only few families in Atlanta. Now, the Telugu population in Atlanta is about 7,000 families. Every major metropolitan in United States has two or more associations and they are all thriving and running very efficiently to address the issues facing Telugu community. Why not we have a peaceful organization that focuses on our families and culture, without any dirty politics, elections, mass memberships, and out of state voting? We discussed all the above issues to come up with solutions.
Please attend this followup meeting on September 18th at 3 PM in Sai Murali banquet hall, which is going to be the final one that we all can make a decision either to start another organization that serves our humble goals of having a peaceful time with our families or not. The arguement that an organization was already registered and doing these good for nothing meetings is wrong. The name was registered as a precautionary step.
Please do forward this email to your friends
Thanks,
