Dec 16, 2003 - Ayyappa Pooja
The 3-day Ayyappa Pooja came to an end yesterday. The highlight this year was the dedication of a brand new huge metal multi-layered Valakku to the memory of the late Thangam mami. Fitting the occasion, it was lighted just before the Laksharchana. In the evening, this Valakku replaced the customary Vaazhai structure which used to adorn the gate-end of the Deepam series.

In a lighter vein:
There is a thinking that next year, a temporary protective fence be placed around the Thayambaka artists in the evening, to prevent some of the frenzied enthusiasts from jumping on top of the drum.

Nov 14, 2003 - Obituary
It is unfortunate that within a couple of months of reporting that Moorthy, our watchman completed 25 years of faithful service, he lost his only son in a road accident. The boy and his friend were apparently on a two wheeler that got hit by a truck and both the lads died. Endeavour Society is collectively trying to raise funds to help support Moorthy in a small way. Please click HERE for a note that conveys the spirit of the effort undertaken. An appeal is being made specifically to all the non-resident Endeavourites to contribute in a meaningful way as this is an opportunity to help first hand another human being in need and that too somebody that we have all had some association with in the past.
