Why should one become a MAM member?
Becoming a member of the Marathi Association of the Twin Cities (MAM) offers several valuable benefits and opportunities:
- Supporting the Marathi Community: By becoming a MAM member, you are contributing to the preservation and celebration of Marathi culture and traditions within the Twin Cities area. This support is essential for maintaining a vibrant community thousands of miles away from the homeland.
- Cultural Education for Kids: Members’ children have the opportunity to attend Marathi Shala (school) at significantly discounted fees. This provides them with a chance to learn and connect with their Marathi heritage, language, and cultural practices.
- Engagement and Event Organization: MAM members have the privilege to actively participate in organizing events and activities alongside the MAM committee. This involvement allows members to contribute to the community’s initiatives and help shape its cultural programs.
- Access to Exclusive Events: Membership grants you free entry to several major events, including Diwali (with cultural programs, performances, and a grand meal), Sankrant (with performances and traditional dinner), Vasant Bahar (a spring festival with food stalls and live performances), Picnic/Camping (summer outdoor gathering), and Ganpati Utsav (participation in the Ganesh festival).
- Online Engagement: MAM offers online events such as music concerts, expert presentations, online plays, and workshops. Members receive discounted rates or even free access to these events, fostering continued cultural engagement.
- Additional Event Opportunities: Members have access to additional events like Holi and Dandiya/Bhondla at reduced rates, providing more opportunities to celebrate and connect with the community.
- Active Participation: Members can actively engage with the community by participating in various programs, including setting up non-commercial food stalls at Vasant Bahar, showcasing their talents, and encouraging their children to showcase theirs.
- Support for Guest Artists: The collective membership contributes to hosting guest artists and performers from outside Minnesota, enriching the community’s cultural offerings.
- Showcasing Talent: Membership offers a platform for members and their families to showcase their talents in a community setting, fostering a sense of pride and connection.
- Cultural Connection: By being part of MAM, members and their families can stay connected with their Marathi heritage, ensuring that their cultural roots remain intact even while living away from their homeland.
In summary, joining the Marathi Association of the Twin Cities not only offers access to cultural events and programs but also allows you to actively contribute to the community’s vitality, provide educational opportunities for your children, and stay connected with your cultural heritage.
