We cherish April 23rd, National Sovereignty and Children's Day, a day of deep historical significance gifted by Atatürk, as it provides a beautiful opportunity to bring together children from diverse backgrounds. We believe that our children are the heart of our community, and by investing in them, we are investing in a brighter tomorrow. These activities will foster a strong sense of community and belonging, while also imparting our rich culture and traditions to the next generation.
Join us as we celebrate National Sovereignty and Children's Day with music, dance, and joyful activities for our little ones! We planned a special lunch featuring Turkish foods catered by local Turkish caterers and restaurants.
ETAC celebration will be at the Lucie Stern Community Center, on April 20, starting at 10:30 AM!
