PATA is a Not for Profit (NFP) organization.  It's primary focus is to serve Peoria area community with cultural events and encourage talent. It has evolved based on the needs of the community and organized various cultural events. PATA caters over 1500 community members by conducting 5 major events in a given year - Ugadi, Summer picnic, India's Independence Day, Diwali and Sports. 

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for joining us at our Summer Picnic. The event was a resounding success, and it wouldn't have been possible without your enthusiastic participation.

We were thrilled to see such a fantastic turnout, with over 300 community members coming together on a gorgeous mild sunny day. The weather was truly on our side, providing the perfect backdrop for our gathering. It was a joy to witness the vibrant energy and camaraderie that filled the air throughout the event.

One of the highlights of the picnic was undoubtedly the incredible variety of delicacies that were shared among us. Your contributions truly made the day even more special and enjoyable. The delicious food and beverages brought by each participant added an extra flavor to the event, and we appreciate your generosity in sharing your culinary delights with others.

We would also like to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and involvement with PATA. Your presence and active participation have been instrumental in making our community stronger and more vibrant. The Summer Picnic served as a wonderful opportunity for us to come together, connect, and create lasting memories.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants for making the Summer Picnic a grand success. We hope you had a fantastic time, and we look forward to welcoming you to future PATA events.
