Tana 2007 @ capital of america..

The 16th TANA meet will be held at the national capital Washington DC on the 5th, 6th and 7th of July. What’s noteworthy here is the gathering is taking place after 25 years in this place.

In the last 25 years the Telugu populace in America has grown and there is going to be a magnificent display just not of it’s numerical strength but also the culture of the Telugu people in the national capital. The agenda to be taken up here is to cultivate the sweet language amongst the NRIs and the demand for it’s recognition through TANA.

About four hundered volunteers are working very hard to make this conference a success and a whopping 10,000 people will be meeting in this one place. There will be an eclectic mix of celebs and people from all walks of life.
