Overview
Mission
MATA is a non-profit organization established to help preserve and propagate Telugu culture in the Dayton-Springfield, OH metropolitan area. MATA organizes various programs to bring together the people of Telugu origin to promote cultural, economical and social causes. The new association organized its first cultural program celebrating the Telugu New Year (Ugaadi) on April 1, 1995 with more than 200 people in attendance. A constitution was adopted for the new organization, and the first Executive Committee was elected and installed. Since then, the organization has been very active. MATA organizes two functions every year: a cultural program celebrating Ugaadi and a picnic on the Sunday following Labor Day. MATA also supports the Telugu day during the Navaratri celebrations at the Hindu Temple of Dayton. In addition, MATA brings visiting Telugu artists from India to the area. MATA...
