News From Southern California

ATASC Business Directory Now Open!

ATASC is offering another service to be of more value to our community. How many times do we hear  “Is there a Turkish speaking doctor, lawyer, dentist, pharmacist,.etc.? We are trying to build an easily accessible user friendly Southern California Turkish Businesses Directory. If you want to list your business, go to the directory and  follow the instructions. It will not immediately appear until ATASC Webmaster edits and approves it.

Ralph’s Donations

Help ATASC get donations from Ralph’s Grocery Stores. It takes 3 simple steps. We will receive $75 this quarter because more people did it. This pays for 2 months worth of ATASC web support. Think what we can do, and how we can use that money to better serve the community.

VATAN represents Turkey on 4th of July Ventura Festival. Irvine Festival in October

Ventura County American Turkish Association, VATAN, hosted a booth during the 4th of July Ventura Festival to present Turkey to the public. VATAN will also take part during Oxnard Festival in the Fall.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with the ATASC schools. VOLUNTEER and you can make a difference.

ATATURK’s Corner

Ataturk dedicated 23 Nisan, the anniversary of the Turkish National Congress in 1920 to Children. His vision was:

FUTURE BELONGS TO AND IS PROTECTED BY FUTURE GENERATIONS.
He expressed it best when he addressed Turkish Youth:"

"O Turkish Youth! Your first and foremost duty is to defend and protect the Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic for all eternity. All the mighty strength that you will need exists in the noble blood a-flowing in your veins!."

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

ATASC SCHOOL IN IZMIT, TURKEY

ARSLANBEY ATA-SC OKULU On August 17, 1999, western Turkey was struck by a devastating magnitude-7.4 earthquake. Many thousands of people were killed, and many more made homeless by the quake that was centered near Izmit. Contributing to the rebuilding process, ATASC initiated an effort in February 2003 to build a new school for the children of Izmit. The school admitted its first class on September 13, 2004. ATASC still continues to support its namesake school.
Since 2006, ATASC sponsored 13 needy children, helped send 6 children to Space Camp Izmir, opened up a Computer Lab and a Science Lab. Most recently ATASC helped the school to open up a pre-school by furnishing four pre-school classrooms named for ATASC chapters. VATAN Chapter is currently in the process of furnishing a conference salon for the students of the elementary school.
