Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair. I would like to thank conference core team Mr. Balaram Pammi, Dr. Stanley Reddy. Dr. Vijayapal Reddy, Mr. Arjun Dyapa and Mr. Pradeep Samala, ATA Tri-Sate Trustees and regional co-coordinators for their help in selecting conference committee chairs and co-chairs. In addition, with the help of Dr. Rajender Jinna, we are in the process of completing contracts with convention hotels, and Nassau Coliseum.

On September 22, 2007, we had our second Board meeting at Marriott hotel, Long Island, NY, and approximately 150 people attended this historic meeting. I would like to thank Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy, Mr. Vikram Reddy Jangam and Dr. Stanley Reddy for hosting dinners on September 21-23. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chinnababu Reddy, Mr. Pradeep Samala and other volunteers from New York and New Jersey for their help and providing transportation for all attendees. This was a historic meeting because a record number of people attended this board meeting. In addition, it is ATA’s tradition to have a fundraising event kick off, and we have set a record in fundraising by collecting approximately $500, 000 in only 15 minutes. On behalf of ATA leadership, I would like to thank each and everyone who pledged donation and also who have attended this meeting. This is just a beginning of our long journey to our 10th Conference and we have a long way to go and we still need more donations to meet our expenses. We hope everyone will consider donating and we would like to stress that no donation is too little and every single cent goes towards the convention or other ATA program.

I thank you again for the support you have given me and to our executive committee over the past 9 months, and I wish you happiness and God’s blessings.Sincerely, Chandra Reddy GavvaPresident

Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair.

Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair. I would like to thank conference core team Mr. Balaram Pammi, Dr. Stanley Reddy. Dr. Vijayapal Reddy, Mr. Arjun Dyapa and Mr. Pradeep Samala, ATA Tri-Sate Trustees and regional co-coordinators for their help in selecting conference committee chairs and co-chairs. In addition, with the help of Dr. Rajender Jinna, we are in the process of completing contracts with convention hotels, and Nassau Coliseum.

On September 22, 2007, we had our second Board meeting at Marriott hotel, Long Island, NY, and approximately 150 people attended this historic meeting. I would like to thank Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy, Mr. Vikram Reddy Jangam and Dr. Stanley Reddy for hosting dinners on September 21-23. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chinnababu Reddy, Mr. Pradeep Samala and other volunteers from New York and New Jersey for their help and providing transportation for all attendees. This was a historic meeting because a record number of people attended this board meeting. In addition, it is ATA’s tradition to have a fundraising event kick off, and we have set a record in fundraising by collecting approximately $500, 000 in only 15 minutes. On behalf of ATA leadership, I would like to thank each and everyone who pledged donation and also who have attended this meeting. This is just a beginning of our long journey to our 10th Conference and we have a long way to go and we still need more donations to meet our expenses. We hope everyone will consider donating and we would like to stress that no donation is too little and every single cent goes towards the convention or other ATA program.

I thank you again for the support you have given me and to our executive committee over the past 9 months, and I wish you happiness and God’s blessings.Sincerely, Chandra Reddy GavvaPresident

Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair. I would like to thank conference core team Mr. Balaram Pammi, Dr. Stanley Reddy. Dr. Vijayapal Reddy, Mr. Arjun Dyapa and Mr. Pradeep Samala, ATA Tri-Sate Trustees and regional co-coordinators for their help in selecting conference committee chairs and co-chairs. In addition, with the help of Dr. Rajender Jinna, we are in the process of completing contracts with convention hotels, and Nassau Coliseum.

On September 22, 2007, we had our second Board meeting at Marriott hotel, Long Island, NY, and approximately 150 people attended this historic meeting. I would like to thank Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy, Mr. Vikram Reddy Jangam and Dr. Stanley Reddy for hosting dinners on September 21-23. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chinnababu Reddy, Mr. Pradeep Samala and other volunteers from New York and New Jersey for their help and providing transportation for all attendees. This was a historic meeting because a record number of people attended this board meeting. In addition, it is ATA’s tradition to have a fundraising event kick off, and we have set a record in fundraising by collecting approximately $500, 000 in only 15 minutes. On behalf of ATA leadership, I would like to thank each and everyone who pledged donation and also who have attended this meeting. This is just a beginning of our long journey to our 10th Conference and we have a long way to go and we still need more donations to meet our expenses. We hope everyone will consider donating and we would like to stress that no donation is too little and every single cent goes towards the convention or other ATA program.

I thank you again for the support you have given me and to our executive committee over the past 9 months, and I wish you happiness and God’s blessings.Sincerely, Chandra Reddy GavvaPresident

Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chinnababu Reddy, Mr. Pradeep Samala and other volunteers from New York and New Jersey for their help and providing transportation for all attendees. This was a historic meeting because a record number of people attended this board meeting. In addition, it is ATA’s tradition to have a fundraising event kick off, and we have set a record in fundraising by collecting approximately $500, 000 in only 15 minutes. On behalf of ATA leadership, I would like to thank each and everyone who pledged donation and also who have attended this meeting. This is just a beginning of our long journey to our 10th Conference and we have a long way to go and we still need more donations to meet our expenses. We hope everyone will consider donating and we would like to stress that no donation is too little and every single cent goes towards the convention or other ATA program.

I thank you again for the support you have given me and to our executive committee over the past 9 months, and I wish you happiness and God’s blessings.Sincerely, Chandra Reddy GavvaPresident

Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair. I would like to thank conference core team Mr. Balaram Pammi, Dr. Stanley Reddy. Dr. Vijayapal Reddy, Mr. Arjun Dyapa and Mr. Pradeep Samala, ATA Tri-Sate Trustees and regional co-coordinators for their help in selecting conference committee chairs and co-chairs. In addition, with the help of Dr. Rajender Jinna, we are in the process of completing contracts with convention hotels, and Nassau Coliseum.

On September 22, 2007, we had our second Board meeting at Marriott hotel, Long Island, NY, and approximately 150 people attended this historic meeting. I would like to thank Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy, Mr. Vikram Reddy Jangam and Dr. Stanley Reddy for hosting dinners on September 21-23.

Dear ATA Friends, It’s been a great run! It has been almost 9 months since our ATA tenure began and it is only natural to want to look back at what has happened since January 2007. I would like to look back at the progress we have made and the changes we have instituted for the betterment of ATA.

We have given a complete face lift to our ATA website, online membership is now active, a new youth web site has been launched, by-laws are available online and finally conference website has been designed and will be on-line by November 2007. In addition, our second issue of America Bharathi is available online at the ATA website. The readership of America Bharathi is rapidly increasing and many readers in India and USA are checking the website every quarter for the online version and sharing the web link with their family and friends. I would like to thank entire Web and America Bharathi team for their hard work and dedication.

We are working hard to secure land from Government of Andhra Pradesh for ATA Bhavan in Hyderabad and a special Ad hoc committee is working on plans to have own office building for ATA in Chicago as a center point for ATA related activities.

Preparations for the 10th ATA Conference and Youth Convention at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY have started. All convention committee Chairs, Co-chairs have been selected and I am pleased with the quality of leadership and enthusiasm shown by each Chair and Co-chair. I would like to thank conference core team Mr. Balaram Pammi, Dr. Stanley Reddy. Dr. Vijayapal Reddy, Mr. Arjun Dyapa and Mr. Pradeep Samala, ATA Tri-Sate Trustees and regional co-coordinators for their help in selecting conference committee chairs and co-chairs. In addition, with the help of Dr. Rajender Jinna, we are in the process of completing contracts with convention hotels, and Nassau Coliseum.

On September 22, 2007, we had our second Board meeting at Marriott hotel, Long Island, NY, and approximately 150 people attended this historic meeting. I would like to thank Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy, Mr. Vikram Reddy Jangam and Dr. Stanley Reddy for hosting dinners on September 21-23. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chinnababu Reddy, Mr. Pradeep Samala and other volunteers from New York and New Jersey for their help and providing transportation for all attendees. This was a historic meeting because a record number of people attended this board meeting. In addition, it is ATA’s tradition to have a fundraising event kick off, and we have set a record in fundraising by collecting approximately $500, 000 in only 15 minutes. On behalf of ATA leadership, I would like to thank each and everyone who pledged donation and also who have attended this meeting. This is just a beginning of our long journey to our 10th Conference and we have a long way to go and we still need more donations to meet our expenses. We hope everyone will consider donating and we would like to stress that no donation is too little and every single cent goes towards the convention or other ATA program.

I thank you again for the support you have given me and to our executive committee over the past 9 months, and I wish you happiness and God’s blessings.Sincerely, Chandra Reddy GavvaPresident
