President's Message
Dear Samaj Members,
On behalf of your executive Board and Committee members, we wish you all a very HAPPY DIWALI and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
Thank you all for attending the Navratri Festival . As we grow older as an organization our cultural programs are getting better and better and the best is yet to come. Thank you all for your participation at our picnic. We had a good turnout and plenty of delicious food along with drinks was enjoyed by everyone. We also had a very good turnout at Dikri No Baap Dot Com the Play starring Homi Wadia and Rex D’souza Musical Event along with our own Dinkar Mehta Show. I also thank all other volunteers who helped out with all this events.
We have planned for our Diwali program on November 5th, 2011 at Assumption Church in Granger. Our Board Members are working to finalize couple of entertainment programs next year. Stay tuned for additional details as they become available and will be updated in this website.
We appreciate the support of our Members who donated generously and we encourage you to please patronize them, without them these events would not be possible since we all know Membership income is not enough to organize all these events. I sincerely thank all participants, volunteers and committee members and their spouses for their unconditional support and help.
If anybody has any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me or any other Board member to share your thoughts. It is our moral obligation to keep our organization strong and united.
Once again we wish you all a very Happy Diwali and a prosperous new year.
Regards,
