A Holiday Note from NCTA to you As the year comes

A Holiday Note from NCTA to you

As the year comes to a close, we at the NCTA would like to wish all, friends old and new, a safe and “socially distanced” holiday season. 2020 has certainly brought much to reflect, learn, and grow from. We are taking these next few days to look back at the past 12 months; knowing with resounding affirmation that our goal to continue highlighting and celebrating a seemingly endless array of cherished traditions, unique expressions, and beloved communities is stronger than ever—whether it's in person during our festivals, or virtually from a distance. We look forward to continue sharing these moments with you next year and beyond. In the meantime, we send smiles (behind our masks) and virtual hugs. Here's to a stronger and healthier 2021.
