Mathrubhumi Malayalam Calendar 1984 With Starsl

In June, 1983, during one of these functions attended by approximately one hundred Malayalees, there was interest expressed to form an organization for the Malayalees of the area. They elected a Committee with the leadership of Mr. K.S. Pappachan to initiate the formal process of organizing a Malayalee Association. In September, 1984, the above Committee developed the framework for a Malayalee Association and handed over the charge to a newly elected Committee headed by Vijayan Menon. In 1985, a new Committee was elected with K.S. Pappachan as the President. The Association became known as The Malayalee Association of Northern California (MANCA). At this point, it was considered necessary to establish the Constitution and Bylaws, to incorporate as a non-profit, social and cultural association and to enlarge the activities and widen the scope of MANCA. The Constitution was drawn up by K.S. Pappachan and approved by the General Body on Jan 18, 1986. It was agreed that a Committee consisting of the President, Vice-President, a Secretary, a Joint Secretary and a Treasurer would be elected to a two year term and given the responsibility of managing the day-to-day activities of the Association. MANCA was formally incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of California. The Non-Profit Tax-Exempt Number is: 94-3021337.
