Association
Sri Lanka Association of New York (SLANY), the oldest Sri Lankan association in the United
States is a community organization that serves the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and

Lankans residing in the United States of America and those interested in the nation of Sri Lanka,
to establish a meeting ground and foster social activities in the community. SLANY further
provides an active and enduring interest in Sri Lanka by providing historical, cultural, religious
and other non-political information.
