Children’s Day Proclamation from Huntington Beach, Ventura, Irvine in works.

Posted by atasc on April 21, 2010 at 19:59 pm

 ATASC Grassroots Committee applied for Proclamations of Children’s Day from cities of Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Ventura, Irvine and Newport Beach. Huntington Beach and Ventura readily agreed and issued documents. Long Beach Proclamation was issued after some extra work by Izmir-Long Beach Sister Cities. We had to go through a rigorous process for Irvine; but it got approved. We will have it on hand in time for OCTAA celebration. Newport Beach, for some reason, is not issuing Proclamations. We will ask for more details.

We hope that we can do this more widely next year and get recognized in more communities.

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.
