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 10th 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.
Tamu Society's youth committee recently organized a hiking trip to upstate New York for its members. The young tamus enjoyed beautiful fall foliage - when tree leaves change colors as far as one could see. In addition to the hiking, they also enjoyed apple picking. The hiking trip also gave them an opportunity to seek advice from the tamu professionals about their college plans. On the occassion, Tamu Society announced an essay compitition for youths. The winners will receive prizes in our upcoming Tamu Lhochar.
