Hospitality House Charity Event
Like previous years DMA women's forum executed a charity event for Walled Lake Hospitality House on August 14, 2010. The mission of Hospitality House in Walled Lake is to end hunger in our community by providing food and necessities to that in need. Every year, Hospitality House provides clients in kindergarten through 12th grade with backpacks full of school supplies. This year DMA Women Forum joined hands with the executive members to donate backpacks and schools supplies for the needy kids. We were able to collect school supplies worth around $1000 for different age groups. The collected supplies were donated to hospitality house on August 14, 2010. The staff at the hospitality house was very appreciative of the help that DMA provided.
Malayalam Class
DMA organized Malayalam classes for the kids during summer this year starting in June till September. Classes were started at two locations; Troy & Novi. There were around 40 students enrolled in the Malayalam class. The Troy class was organized and conducted by DMA Executive member Mr. Surendran Nair, and Novi classes were jointly conducted by Mrs. Jency Shaji’s parents who have come from Kerala for a vacation and by other Women’s forum members.
