Press Release

Chicago, November 11, 2011:  Christmas is the time for sharing joy and happiness with one another.   A festival has that great feeling in the air, the smell of freshly baked cookies and cake, the sweet sound of the carol songs playing on the radio, the awesome time we spend in front of the fire place while it snows outside. 

Double your joy and celebration this Christmas by attending the 10th annual Christmas celebration which will be organized by the Mangalorean Konkan Christian Association (MKCA) of Chicago. The Executive Committee announces the celebration of their "Natal Fest-2011" to be held at Courtland Square Club House, 8909 David Place, Des Plaines, IL. 60016 on Saturday, 17th December, 2011.  Come and share the Christmas joy with this close knit Mangalorean family.
