We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your intense interest and participation in our Turkish Heritage Day event, which we celebrated on September 28th.

We would like to express our gratitude to our Consul General, Mr. Resul Bey , Hollywood Commissioner Caryl Shuham , and all our guests for their support at our event, which attracted over 200 participants this year.

Our event was officially declared Turkish Heritage Day with a proclamation signed by Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis . We are delighted to celebrate this historic milestone with our community.

Our FTAA Ataturk Choir, FTAA Folklore Group, Sarı Zeybek (Sarı Zeybek), Hacivat-Karagöz (Hacivat-Karagöz) performances, ceramics, tile-making, and marbling art workshops, and our sarma and kadayıf recipes were met with great interest. The enthusiastic participation of our children and the activities in our children’s corner further enriched our event.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our volunteers for their hard work and dedication, and to our sponsors for their support, who made our event a success. We also extend our thanks to our host, Camila , who made our day even more special with her professional presentation.

We were delighted to see that all the dishes, desserts, ice creams and baklavas we prepared were consumed with great interest.

With your support, we will continue to preserve and promote our Turkish culture, and pass it on to future generations . We look forward to seeing you at many wonderful events together.

A sincere thank you to all our friends and acquaintances who participated and supported our event
