We are all very excited to serve as volunteers to ATASC community whether in ATASC or in a chapter. We all agreed on mutual support and total cooperation between chapters themselves and chapters and ATASC. We developed our 2011 goals in this spirit and agreed on the division of activities that are complementary to best serve you. We will repeat our very successful 23 Nisan Children’s Day Celebrations as well as traditional ATASC Republic Day Ball..

ATASC currently has 4 chapter schools (San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and Ventura) to educate our next generation in Turkish Language and Culture. The volunteers at each chapter put their hearts and souls into these schools. I hope that you will join us in this effort by enrolling your children and/or volunteering for these schools.

One of the goals we set is to keep you, ATASC community, better informed of ATASC issues as well as of happenings in your local chapters. You will be hearing from us periodically in joint communications with your chapter presidents.

Vega Sankur
ATASC President
