Over 7000 people participated in the Turkic Cultures and Children's Festival last weekend and enjoyed the great tastes, arts and music of the Turkic world as well as contributions of Turkic-Americans of Texas. This wonderful event would not be possible without the altruistic spirit and warm hearted work of over 200 volunteers from Houston, College Station, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and other cities in an around Texas. People of various professions, students, teachers, especially ladies have spent their several weekends and sometimes week day evenings to prepare for the event.(September 20,2007,HOUSTON,TEXAS)
Home-made foods and handiwork that were contributed by the ladies
attracted the greatest interest. Not only Turkish, Turkmen, Azeri,
Kazakh, Uzbek, Kirgiz Americans but their American friends as well
volunteered their time and energies for the organization. We look
forward to seeing the contributions of our American friends, which
produced a beautiful picture of Turkic-American friendship, increase
for the festivals in the coming years.
On behalf of the festival organization committee of Raindrop
Turkish-American cultural foundation we offer our heart-felt thanks and
appreciation to every person who contributed to the festival and we
look forward to being with you for the next year's festival.
