2009 Kurban Bayrami Celebration

Divan celebrated the Kurban Bayrami (Feast of Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha) on November 28 at the Center. The celebration started with a Turkish style breakfast at 10:30 am. It included braised meat as well . Goody bags were given to kids after the breakfast. A clown entertained the kids between 12 pm and 1 pm. It was a great gathering to greet each others' Bayram and talk in a warm atmosphere while we were away from our relatives and loved ones in Turkey for another Bayram occasion at Divan.

2009 Ramazan Bayrami Celebration

Divan Cultural Center hosted about 100 people for Bayram Celebration on Sunday, September 20th at 10.30 am. Celebration started with a delicious breakfast. After 30-day fasting, it was a really nice Break-Fast. Divan volunteers prepared goodybags for the kids. Especially, kids really enjoyed with the Bayram/Eid Celebration.

2009 Ramazan Iftar Dinners

Divan Cultural Center hosted iftar dinners for the Turkish and American communities during the month of Ramazan in 2009. Iftar dinners were open and free for everyone. Our generous friends prepared foods or donated money directly to the Center to make the food ready. Divan volunteers organized 12 iftar dinners during the Holy Month of Ramazan. Around 600 people attended to these iftar dinners overall. We thank our generous volunteers who prepared the foods and helped us with the expenses as well as the guests who joined us in these iftars.

2008 Ramazan Bayrami Celebration

Divan-Triad organized a picnic style Ramazan Bayrami Celebration in High Point City Lake Park on October 5, 2008. Kids felt a similar Bayram environment as in Turkey, and adults also enjoyed their time seeing and chatting with each other. A goody bag as well as a symbolic Bayram allowance to each kid between ages 2-15 were given. In addition, there were some fun activities prepared for the kids. We would like to thank in advance to those who contributed to the Bayram allowances and other expenses.
