A Brief History Of SFTS

While Tamil community in South Florida has been functioning as Tamil Sangam in an informal manner fostered and nurtured by long time veterans it is only recently it has been incorporated as a formal non-profit organization. In the beginning of 2000, the General Body decided to transform as a registered non-profit organization and formed a committee which prepared the necessary artciles of incorporation and by-laws.

On the basis of these documents, South Florida Tamil Sangam Inc was established as a registered non-profit organization in the month of April 2000 and the first Board of Directors was elected in the same month. The interest and participation of the members along with the coordination by the Board of Directors, the organization made good progress in fulfilling its objectives in the first few years.

In accordance with the by-laws, a new Board of Directors was elected for the year 2002. Perceiving that South Florida Tamil Sangam Inc., is an organization dedicated to serve the Tamil Community in its mission, more and more Tamilians are becoming members. The performance of this organization and the enthusiasm shown by its members during the first quarter of 2002 indicates that this fountain head of Tamil Culture in South Florida, with the help of dedicated and inspired persons at the helm, South Florida Tamil Sangam will grow in its noble activities and become the foremost among the organizations of its kind in this country!
