We were honored to attend the October 29 reception organized by Hasan Murat Mercan, the Consul General of the Republic of Turkiye in New York, and the Embassy in Washington, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Republic. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Embassy of the Turkish Republic in Washington DC and the Consulate General of the Turkish Republic in New York for hosting such remarkable events that truly reflected the historical significance of this milestone. Our sincere gratitude also goes to Ambassador Hasan Murat Mercan for recognizing our contributions towards the February 6 Earthquake response, particularly our donations and fundraising efforts. Lastly, we thank Mr. Tayfun Selen for presenting us with a Turkish Republic Centennial Proclamation, joining the many acknowledgments we have received from both Federal and State political leaders.
