March 30, 2019VT Seva Bayarea conducted first Annual Dance and Music contest in Fremont. Event was a grand success with 15 schools and 40 participants around Bay Area to support our cause.
15 Schools, 40 participants !
We had great representation from esteemed judges with nearly 3 decades of experience in BayArea and India. Participants, parents and Judges were spellbound with the event arrangements. We were able to connect to our cause individually with most of the parents/Judges. They appreciated how important the cause is and how critical it is for all of us to be part of such noble cause.
All the judges were really excited to make this an annual event and assured us that they would bring many schools around BayArea to make this even more successful in the coming years.
