The Dallas Malayali Association will host a pre-need planning seminar on November 14 as part of its Golden Jubilee celebrations marking 50 years since its 1976 founding. The session runs from 10 a.m. at the KAD/ICEC Hall on Broadway Boulevard in Garland.
Organizers say the “Plan Ahead, Save More” workshop will show families how advance funeral arrangements can reduce financial strain, eliminate surprise costs, and bring peace of mind. It’s a practical topic that often gets overlooked until it’s urgent.
The event also features an art exhibition by Jajni Johnson alongside educational and entertainment programs. Lunch will be provided for everyone who attends, making it a community gathering as much as an information session.
A team led by President Shiju Abraham, Secretary Manjith Kanikkara, IC&EC President Mathew Ninan, IC&EC Secretary Thomas Eso, and Community Development Director Sumit John Kora has coordinated the details. For questions, reach Sumit at (813) 409-9050, Shiju at (214) 929-3570, or Manjith at (972) 679-8555.
The association’s 50th anniversary spans 1976 to 2026, and this seminar kicks off a series of commemorative events planned for the year.
