Why Become a TAS Member?
Telugu Association of Saint Louis (TAS) is a Nonprofit organization started in 1979 by some of our Saint Louis Telugu veterans to establish a vibrant platform for the Saint Louis Telugu Community by collaborating, celebrating, sharing, serving, and representing the values of our great community with the sole purpose of service, support and entertainment. TAS conducts many cultural activities and events every year that are designed not only to celebrate our language, traditions, art and heritage but also to pass them on to our next generations.
Every year TAS conducts the following four major events :
1) Sankranthi
2) Ugadi
3) Diwali and
4) Family Picnic.
Entry and food at these events are FREE for TAS members. Besides these events, TAS also conducts various community/volunteer service and other programs exclusively designed for women and youth. These events not only provide our kids to see, participate and learn our culture, but also provide a platform for local Telugu families and newcomers a great social networking opportunity.
We welcome you to come and join this great organization and help promote its goal of bringing this community together through its rich cultural heritage. Due to the current situation of the organization and the timing, the memebrship fees for the reminder of the year are as following:
