Chennai Center Kalamela 2010 Update

By God's grace we were able to conduct the Chennai Center Kalamela 2010 at the St Paul's Marthoma Church, Adyar. Thanks to all the Achens, Chennai Center Office Bearers, judges, participants, Committees, and all 6 parishes who participated. Special thanks to Liba and Zach too for the extensive groundwork before the event actually even started.

We had participation from Tambaram, St Thomas Mount, Avadi, Chetpet, Adayar and Annanagar. Special thanks to these parishes.

OK now let me address our Yuvajana Sakhyam !

I am sure many of you would have had a good learning experience by participating in various events and even in organizing the events. One important learning for me was in "the ability of the individual". Everyone is talented. They know how to solve problems, if given the opportunity, if forced to take the opportunity ! Our events could finish of on time, because each "Host" thought through the problem and made adjustments to ensure the events would finish off ahead of time. We started of an hour late, but finished off well ahead of time, in the process allowing our visiting friends to get to City-Center on time :-)

I guess I will stop the blabbing and let the pictures do the talking.

Thanks to all participants (for events and those who helped organize)

The only practice we had for the Tableu was 10 minutes before the event :-) great work Christo & team !
