For those of you who don’t know us :
A meet and greet dinner was held to welcome the renowned singer Mr Sunil Edirisinghe and his troupe on October 30th at the Association building to a capacity crowd of adults and children.
The sumptuous potluck dinner was organized primarily by Lakshaman and Chandra ably assisted by the EC and a few others. All attendees had a very enjoyable time specially since it afforded a rare opportunity to meet the esteemed singer and take photographs with him etc., a feat not possible on the day of the show as the singer and troupe were catching a flight immediately after. Some of the highlights are depicted in the photos that follow.
“Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.”
John C. Maxwell
Consistent with previous years, a number of events were planned by the SLCFA over the summer months. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were faced with the reality of having to move forward with these activities on a much smaller scale.
