Seeking Your Photographs

Many people had taken photographs of the historic Silver Jubilee Convention. Many of these may record events we could not cover because there were many parallel programs going on at the same time at different locations (from Convention Center to Double Tree Hotel to Holiday Inn Resort to Crown Plaza Hotel.

Plus you may have precious memories of your family, church group etc.

How about sharing them with us? Selected photos will be published in this website. It will become part of history.

Please send your photos along with a brief description of what they are (if possible) to the webmaster jacob@malankaraconvention.org. If you have any questions, you can contact us in that address too. Thank you for your help.

Souvenir DVD's of the Silver Jubilee Convention Program

Now that the convention is over, the most watched item will be the souvenir DVD of the convention. This will be a 2 DVD set. It will have about 6 hours of videos. It will cover all the entertainment programs (including the sponsored program, choir fest, cultural program etc.), all the spiritual and inspirational talks, the 25-inmel qurbana, sports, etc. etc. We expect to publish this DVD in early September. Watch out for the electronic registration form soon.
