    As you can see the format of this event is going to be different this year in which you can bring your family/group and bowl, enjoy the dinner and mingle with the group.

    We invite all of you to join in to support this event to empower lives of our seniors in this home and to pave way to improve long term care access for the Tamil community in the future.
