It has been the dream of Malayalees of Palm Beach, and neighboring counties, to have our own association. January 9, 2011 was a “GOLDEN DAY” in the fulfillment of that dream. A small group of people met and started the long awaited Kerala Association of Palm Beach.
The historical importance of our motherland, its natural beauty, its cultural heritage, its mythologies and the lifestyles of the people makes it the ‘God’s Own Country’. Our main aim is to promote cultural, educational and social activities and to encourage and revitalize the traditional arts and crafts of our motherland and to provide a forum for the Keralites and their descendants residing in the United States of America to preserve and foster their moral, social, cultural, educational, literary and artistic heritage.
Malayalee Association of Central Florida has been serving our community for the past 25 years nurtured by dedicated leaders amongst us. It is with great pleasure and honor that this committee has come forward to serve MACF. We have an outstanding team driven by a commitment to take this organization forward and partner with all sections of our community to bring back the nostalgic memories from our motherland with a motive to project a model of harmony and cultural heritage to our next generation. We need your continuing support and help in terms of participation and volunteering to take this organization to much greater heights.
