During its 25th year the association wrote up its Constitution expressing its ideals of fostering the social, educational charitable and cultural needs of the Kerala Community in New England. An Arts and Sports subcommittee was started to keep the community's repertoire of musical, artistic and literary talents well represented in the various events.
The major events for the year include the Onam and Christmas Celebrations, Arts & Talents Day, Annual Camp and Picnic. An annual directory keep the members in touch with each other. Other events such as fundraisers, movies, etc are organized by the office bearers to keep the community active during the year.
