Welcome to the Tennessee Andhra Samithi. I hope that you will find most of the information about TAS on this web page.
To help the new comers to our community, a brief history and the goals of TAS are provided under "About" link. TAS or any other non-profit organization can only survive with the support of its members and well wishers. In the current times, both moral and financial support are critical. The first level of support is to become a member of TAS. Life members pay one-time membership fees and annual members renew the membership on a year-by-year basis. The membership fees collected are used by TAS to conduct its activities. Please use the "membership" link to fill out an application. The next level of support comes in terms of sponsorship. The sponsorship can be made by purchasing advertisement space in the TAS directory or on TAS web page. In previous years, several members purchased advertisement space either to convey their greetings to the Telugu community or to advertise their businesses. I encourage you to follow this lead. Another way to support TAS is to sponsor a cultural program organized by TAS. The "sponsorship" link will give you the application material. Please be generous in your support.
A list of the life members of TAS can be found under the "Life Members" link. Please follow their lead to become either a life member or annual member.
This year we are switching to electronic communication and hope to become "paper-less". For this purpose, we have collected e-mail addresses from those who are willing to give it and also updated the TAS directory. If your name is not listed in the TAS direcory or are not receiving e-mails from TAS, please contact any of the committee members. All of our activities will be posted on this web page. Please visit this web page often to stay tuned.
If you have any special need or question, please contact any of our dedicated and active committee members.
I wish you success in your future goals and thank you for supporting TAS.
- Prasad Polavarapu, President
