Thank you all, who visited Turk Evi. We expect more visits, more involvement with our activities.
The Turkish Center is ready,after almost one full year of struggle, hard work and sweat.
It is just the combination of financial and manpower support of Turkish friends who have been dreaming of this day. Florida Turkish American Association has established in 1964, and formally registered as non-profit organization in 1987. From that day, It was the biggest dream of all Turkish decent American citizens, and we are proud of bring this dream into life. From now on, this space will be acting as binding mortar amongst us.
Today, Board of Trustee had its first meeting in Turk Evi, together with Fund Rising Comitee
