As a milestone, our very first Koota camping trip beautifully showcased the true spirit of our community. A heartfelt thank you to each one of you for making this event so memorable and successful.
From roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars to group walks that brought us closer to nature, every activity had its own charm. Cooking together became a feast of flavors and laughter, while kayaking, horse riding, and bike rides brought out everyone’s adventurous side. Our games, from Kannada word challenges to badminton, pickleball, and dumb charades, kept the fun and camaraderie alive throughout. You name it, we had it!

KANNADOTHSAVA
New team, new ideas and a totally exciting in person event is being planned. We are super excited to celebrate the KANNADOTHSAVA with you all on November 6th at 4.30 PM at The Multnomah Art center, Portland OR.
We've come beyond the covid days and now is the time we all get together and have a gala time by celebrating Deepavali along with Kannada Rajyothsava. Let us celebrate kannadothsava with a MUSICAL FEAST by well known celebrities from Karnataka and programs from local kannadigas. We hope you're super excited as much as we are and hope to see you all at the event.
Community programs will be for an hour followed by Musical show from celebrity artists. At this time we would like to invite everyone to participate in the event. We would also like to call upon our talented people to mentor our lovely participants.
[As the new team was recently formed, it is a challenge for us to give 100% chance for the community to participate in cultural events, but we will not disappoint you with the quality of the program participating in other fields. We assure you to give you a chance in our upcoming koota programs.]
Chances are for a first come first serve basis, due to time constraints.
Volunteers are our strength and backbone for making the event a grand success. We depend on you!
Once again, we invite you all to join us and make this event a memorable one.
