New website is awesome. It provides an opportunity to interact with other Kannada community members. I am starting this thread to discuss your ideas and offer suggestions to improve member satisfaction and quality of programs. Are you interested in attending business forum or a forum for parents visiting Bay Area?
What is on your mind? Do you want to have local sports teams that meet regularly for playing? You may be aware of KKNC's educational division conducts Kannada Kali classes. It is easy to let our kids miss an opportunity to read and write Kannada. Don't let it happen to your kids. In a multicultural society such as USA, learning Kannada will be always a plus.
Please write back whatever is in your mind. It could be any topic related Kannada.
Thanks
Sridhara
you have a 'follow on twitter.' any plans on a facebook profile?
website is awesome. just needs more participation. make sure the website is advertised like crazy and prominently in all kknc events, magazines, etc.
congratulations.
@pachchu: Thanks for the comment. We have Facebook on our to-do list and it will come out sometime soon.
I see that there is a Facebook group for KKNC, if you are planning on revamping this, my suggestion is to create a "Page" instead of a "Group"..because I believe page updates show on people's individual pages, but group posts don't. You need to actually go to the Group page to view group posts.
Thanks,
Mallika
Thanks Sridhar for getting this started. We can spawn individual forum threads as and when more people join this discussion.
