KOA ZONE
3 ACTIVITIES
1. Shivratri Report from Ashtosh and Wimi:
Thanks to all of you for attending and making
the Shivratri get together a great gathering. I was overwhelmed by the
response and the support and help we received. My special thanks to
Anita Ji and Sanjaya Ji for making sure that everything went well. They
were the greatest help. My thanks to Rakesh Ji for coordinating the
cultural event. Thanks to Umesh Ji for taking the pictures. And thanks
to all the persons who helped in setting up the place and cleaning
afterwards. Thanks to Smt. and Sh. Razdan Ji for being there when we
needed them for distributing Kharach and Atgat.
Their
blessings will guide all of us in the years to come. Thanks to all of
you for attending, without you all we would not have had any fun.
Most
importantly, thanks to all the children who made the evening so special
with their performances. Thanks to their parents for the help. We are
all very proud of them.
We will be
planning some other events starting with a summer picnic. I am always
open to suggestions. If the community wants any type of interactions,
let us get involved. Please suggest your ideas. I really appreciate the
idea put forward by Anita Ji about the Havan and please do come forward
and make it a reality.
Thanks to
Arvind Kalla Ji for helping with the most important part, keeping track
of the money at the entrance. Due to his efforts, I am proud to announce
that we made a profit of $ 9.05 at the end of the event. Isn't it great?
This will be our seed money for the forthcoming activities.
I am so
sorry that I forgot to mention how lucky we were to have Rabinder Kaul
Ji amongst us who took upon himself and performed such a wonderful Puja.
The chanting of the names and mantras helped and guided all of us.
Rabinder Ji spent so much of his time compiling the Puja. We are
grateful to him for his efforts. Without
Puja, Shivratri celebrations would have lost their true sense. Rabinder
Ji, Thanks from all of us.
I have
added some more pictures taken by Wimi at the get together. They can be
viewed at
