Dear RKS Family/ ನಮ್ಮ ರಿಚ್ಮಂಡ್ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಘದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸದಸ್ಯರಿಗೂ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು 

ಸುಮ ಸುಂದರ ತರುಲತೆಗಳ ಬೃಂದಾವನ ಲೀಲೆ

ಸುಪ್ರಭೋಧ ಚಂದ್ರೋದಯ ರಾಗರುಣ ಜ್ವಾಲೆ

ಗಿರಿ ಸಿರಿ ಬನ ಸಂಚಾರಿಣಿ ತುಂಗಾಜಲ ದೀರೆ

ಧಲ ಧಲ ಧಲ ಮೆದು ಹಾಸಲಿ ಗಾನ ಸುಪ್ತ ಲೋಲೆ

ಸಂಗೀತ ಸಂಜೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಆರ್‌ಕೆಎಸ್ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಚೈತನ್ಯ, ಸಂತೋಷ, ಮತ್ತು ಉಲ್ಲಾಸವನ್ನು ತರಲಿದೆ. ಹೊಸ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಗಳು ಅದ್ಭುತ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ.


ಹೊಸ ಕಾರ್ಯಕಾರಿ ಸಮಿತಿಯಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ 2026 ರ ಪ್ರಥಮ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ನೇಹಪೂರ್ವಕ ಆಹ್ವಾನವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಸಂಗೀತ ಸಂಜೆ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮವು ನಮ್ಮ-ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಮನದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿ ನೆಲೆಯೂರುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡೋಣ.

ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಈ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿ, ಹೊಸ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಹಿಸಿ ಹಾಗು ಅವರು ಹಾಡುವ ಹಾಡನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಆನಂದಿಸಿ ಅವರ ಯಶಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಕಾರಣರಾಗಿ ಎಂದು ಸವಿನಯದಿಂದ ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
