A HAPPY OCCASION AT ATAA
On August 9, 2004, ATAA enjoyed two happy occasions
simultaneously.
First, ATAA hosted for the first time the
Turkish-American small businessmen and Turkish artisans
for a dinner reception. The uniqueness of this gathering
was that it was the first such meeting. The message
intended here by the ATAA president was the following:
"Only through complete inclusiveness of our community,
can we succeed in overcoming our common obstacles, and
solving our common problems in this country. ATAA's
building belongs to everybody. It needs to be owned up
by all."
On this day, ATAA also became The Turkish House. Mr.
Irfan Baytok, a renown Turkish tailor of the Washington,
DC area was presented the honor of nailing a new sign on
the exterior of ATAA building, which read "TURKEVI".
