Greater Austin Malayalee Association (GAMA)

History


The Malayalees in the Greater Austin area have organized several community events over the last fifteen years. Over the years, it became increasingly clear that we needed a formal organization to hold these events. During the 2004 Christmas meeting, Thomas Cherian (Thampachen) took the initiative in recruiting several volunteers to form such an organization. Through their efforts, GAMA is now formally registered as a non-profit organization.



Objective


The objective of the Association is to ideals of compassion, care and support, thus preserve the culture of Kerala in the true tradition of peace and brotherhood. The Association constantly invites ideas and suggestions and has a variety of projects on hand to support our community as well as our motherland



Membership


We invite you to join GAMA, and encourage you to actively participate in our events. To keep this effort going, we need to have active involvement from many of you in the Board of Directors of GAMA. At present we have over 250 families who are members of GAMA. You can contact any of the GAMA directors if you wish to become a member. NOTE: Registering on the website does not make you a GAMA member.
