10 years ago, Gurung (Tamu) Society had a humble beginning. An enthusiastic group of Gurungs wanted to establish a community of their own in America for promoting and preserving their cultural heritage. Today, it is one of the most organized and viable Nepali organizations here with a strong membership and a clear vision. President of Tamu Society, Tika Gurung gives credit to advisers of Tamu Society for their guidance and dedication of its volunteers to make Tamu Society a success story. Over the years, Tamu society has organized many cultural, social, educational, and youth programs to benefit its members. This year’s Lhochhar celebration marked its 10^th anniversary which is truly a milestone for the organization. Many founding members including the past Presidents Tulsi Gurung, Narayan Gurung and adviser Shri Prasad Gurung attended the event and shared their joy with everyone. Before the cultural event, Tamu Society presented a slide show that took many people back to the wonderful moments they shared as a community.
