UGADI CELEBRATIONS April 2007 The cultural sub-committee of VKK, would like to welcome you all to participate in the Maiden Program of the Year 2007 – Ugadi. Our objective this year is to showcase an exciting cultural year full of fun, variety & quality that would bring satisfaction to both members and participants. We are committed in making this year a memorable one, for years to come. Keeping in mind, the quality of the programs, that we wish to deliver to you all, we have decided on a Theme Framework for each of the cultural events. Therefore, for the Ugadi, we have set “COLORS” as the theme that marks the onset of Spring, New Year, New Life, and New Beginning. Hence, we would like all the dance, song, skits etc., which are to be performed, be centered on this theme. We are sure with the talented lot that we have in our Kannada kuta, there will be lot of innovative ideas incorporated to bring in the theme for the various programs.

The VKK Food Drive-2007 was conducted at this year's Deepavali event (Dec 1st). Inspite of less-than-expected turnout of members for this event, we received a quite a good amount of food items as donations - about five boxes of food items.
