What Members had to say about ATS...
***********************************************************
Asha Austin would like to thank you and all volunteers of ATS for your patient and wonderful support! ATS has helped us a long way in making the event a great success. We had little less than 200 ppl who attended the event and we raised around $4.2K for Asha Austin's projects in India. Every dollar of the amount raised will be supporting the underprivileged in India.
We look forward to being associated with ATS in the future and highly appreciate your supporting role and efforts for the YGM event.
Thanks for supporting us!

Myself with my wife and son attended the programme from start to the end. The whole programme was very fine, with a special mention on the "Anthariksha". It was as if we were in Madras and enjoying the events. Our congrats and wishes to all of you. We anxiously expecting many more such events in the future.
I am interested in the Tamil activities and very much impressed with your Sangam events held on 28th. I feel very happy to see such association in Austin where the Tamil people are very less.

Awesome Show
Hats off to you and your crew on the success of the Deepavali Program. Everything was awesome. It was NON-STOP Entertainment for 4 hours. All the programs were of great quality. It was amazing to know/see the Austin Talent.
The stage lighting was great this time at the ATS Deepavali Function. The ATS pictures and the photos and video on our home cameras have turned out great too. Usually only the centerstage use to be lit up and the sides of the stage would be shadowed out.
The audio and microphone system was also excellent.
-- Hema on 2005 Deepavali cultural program.

The entire show went off very well and it was a great success and a feather in the cap of Austin tamil Sangam for organizing a good event for Deepavali.
Thanks to you and your team for making it happen.

The Deepvali program was very good and despite the cold weather, there was a good turn out. Just wanted to say thanks for giving my son and all the other kids a mountain of encouragement. Once again thanks for the photos and the certificate.
We really enjoyed the program. Thanks for putting so much effort into organizing the whole evening. Congrats to you and all the other ATS organizers and volunteers. The program was very well organized.

Lovely pictures!! --- Hema on 2004 Deepavali Pictures in ATS Website.
Hats off to you and your crew for putting up a GREAT show for ATS last night. As you said, it was a good mixture of Isai, Iyal and Nadagam. Everyone enjoyed all the programs. I had one of my non-Tamil friend comment "I didn't know that there is such a big Tamil community in Austin". ATS's participation at ICC and other such community activity will help re-establish ATS's presence.
Thanks to y'all's efforts Tamil Sangham is finally getting back on track!!
Good Show!!

The Fall Picnic was a really wonderful and memorable event. Though we joined the event a little late, we enjoyed it thoroughly to the end. Everything was very well organized - games, food and those cute prices!
We had earlier attended events like Movies, Music show, etc. organized by ATS. But we did not get a chance to mingle and know people, since they were more of timed shows. Whereas during this picnic, new members like us got to socialize with so many people, filled with excitement to see so many "tamil speaking" friends around Made us feel at home!
I'm sure many other ATS members too would have felt the same.
"Special Thanks" to all the Tamil Sangam volunteers who had put in their time and effort in getting this event well organized.
Shankar/Mathavi, many thanks to you in getting the pictures on the site, they definitely carry fun-filled memories
Looking forward to more such wonderful events.

Wanted to congratulate you folks on a well organized Deepavali function last week. Great co-ordination and lots of dedicated efforts. I have been in Austin for only couple of years and happened to check out Tamil sangam site a while ago (1 year of before) and not much activities were going on. You guys have kick started it and doing great stuff.
Once again great work and best wishes for continued success.

I just wanted to thank you for everything. You have taken great pains in getting everything organized and done on time. I appreciate you giving my son a chance to participate.
The dessert queen competition was organized really well. Starting with the token gifts for all, neatly packed and labeled, I could see all the thought and efforts that you had put into it.
Thank you,

We enjoyed ourselves so much yesterday. You guys did a superb job organizing the deepavali function last night.
Gayathri, it was nice to hear compering in Tamil, and done so well too. The kids' shows were very well thought out. I really liked the fact that there were no prizes, but certificates for all. I think this's going to be a standard part of our family's annual Deepavali celebration. Thanks for all your work!
