A Non-profit Cultural Organization of Malayalees in Metro Detroit
Mission statement:
The Kerala Club is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious organization. Our mission is to practice and promote the Indian heritage in South East Michigan.
The Kerala Club represents Malayali community from South-India and has a strong membership root of 900 families. The members of this club are productive contributors to the local economy and come from all walks of life.
Activities:
Every year we conduct the following three main events:
1. Picnic - Usually held on a Saturday in Mid July, during which we have cook outs and have games for our children and adults.
2. Onam - This event is our highlight event of the year, we start off with the traditional Onam Sadhya. The delicious food is prepared by our members and is a big hit. After the sadhya we host our cultural program where we showcase our local talent.
3. Christmas - During this event we conduct our general election for our office bearers for the following year. We also have a traditional Kerala Christmas dinner and a cultural program that showcases mostly our talented children.
We also are planning to setup scholarships for needy students in Kerala.
To give back to the community and our adopted country we intend to participate in local soup kitchens and other local charities.
We are also planning to conduct classes in Malayalam for our children.
