Why Become a Member of KAO?

Kerala Association of Ohio has been in existence since 2000. We have come together without consideration of caste, community, or religion.

Undoubtedly, an Association can become successful only if it can ensure a steady membership with a sense of purpose and direction.

Through our activities, we have maintained our traditional ties and deepened our cultural and social customs. One of the major contributions of the Association has been to create awareness among those who are unfamiliar with the richness of Kerala’s language, literature, art, music, dance, and culture.

We must move many steps ahead. For this, we need more members. Our existence and success depend on our getting new members. We appeal to anyone interested in the culture of Kerala & its people. We encourage all Malayalees in the region to enroll themselves as members of the Association and integrate into this movement to preserve Kerala’s cultural identity in its totality. Membership fees are very reasonable and provide free access to KAOH programs.
