2008

TAT started the year with general fundraising mailing, Starlight Campaign. It raised enough money to offer free monthly workshops at the Santa Monica library. It also added more half-day retreats and workshops for the parents and teachers. TAT gathered a great group of sponsors who helped to put together the first big fundraising event and party, Asha, a Night of Hope. This was TAT's first party for the students and their families. Everyone had plenty of fun. Many of the students had a great opportunity to perform, give speeches and totally shine. Funding advisor helped to complete grant proposal and Letter of Inquiry. By the end of the year TAT was ready to send Grant proposals to different foundations. We expect 2009 to be a great and prosperous year.
