CIM Sri Lanka ends ‘Kavum Kokis 2018: Beach Edition’ on a high note
With the view of celebrating the New Year season embracing all the cultures and traditions; the student committee of The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Sri Lanka held the annual New Year celebrations ‘Kavum Kokis 2018: Beach Edition’ on the 7th of April 2018 for the third consecutive year. The event was held at the Shelton seafood restaurant at the Mount Lavinia beach. The sandy coast and the shimmering beach certainly added more colour to the event.
The day commenced with the traditional practice of lighting the oil lamp followed by boiling of the pot of milk amidst the cool winds of the sea. The chief guest, Mr. Brian Selvanayagam, chairman of CIM Sri Lanka welcomed and warmly wished a prosperous and a blessed new year to the entire gathering of guests.
The event featured a number of traditional Avurudu games such as pillow fights, tug-of-war and sack-race etc., which were all held in the beach shore. The event was indeed a great success and fellowship and camaraderie after the event further facilitated networking among CIM students and members.
As CIM members, we can all take pride in the fact that CIM Sri Lanka continues to play a pivotal role in highlighting the importance of marketing and always campaigned for greater recognition and excellence in the marketing profession in Sri Lanka, through education, training and professional development.
