We are very happy to announce that we purchased the building in 291 Broadway, Menands on February 18th 2010.  This building has two floors (no basement), with adequate space (5500 sq-ft) for TCCA activities. We will use the first floor of the building for educational and tutoring activities, and the second floor for cultural activities. We would like to thank Village of Menands officials and board of trustees for reviewing and accepting our “Special Use Permit” application. We would also like to thank Colonie fire department for reviewing our fire safety upgrade plans. We have upgraded the fire safety system of the building, and setup a fire monitoring system to achieve educational grade fire safety. We would like to thank Adnan Baykal for replacing and upgrading parts of the old fire safety system.

We are very excited to have our own building for our operations. This is the beginning for our long-term impact to our community, and we are hoping to see everyone support and participate to our activities to turn this building to a landmark location in the Capital District. Thanks again for everyone for their support and contributions

TCCA was incorporated as a not for profit organization. On October 26th 2009, TCCA submitted the federal tax exemption application to Internal Revenue Service under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. We are happy to announce that on January 5, 2010, TCCA federal tax exemption application was accepted by IRS with an effective day of May 5, 2009. TCCA is now exempt from income tax, and all donations contributed after the effective date is eligible for tax deductions. TCCA is also qualified to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under section 2055, 2106 or 2522 of the IRS code.
