Administrative Matters
Food Sponsorship Program:
We thank all devotees for participating in the food sponsorship program. The proceeds from this program will be used for the Patio Enclosure Project. In addition, money from this program will be used to purchase new Chairs and Tables for the Patio. We have a list of donors who are willing to sponsor the food if there are no available sponsors on any Sunday. The food committee is confident that we will have food at the Temple every Sunday and for all major events. If you wish to sponsor the food on any Sunday, Please contact any member of the Temple Administration. Your donation to this program will also enable the Temple to meet its month to month expenses. More important than sponsoring food, we urge all devotees to consider cooking food (any 4 items) at home to serve 100 people on Sunday's at the Temple.
Speaker System:
We are glad to report that 2 new speaker systems have been installed in the Main Temple and the Patio. Our Thanks to Dr. Sanjay Kandoth for donating $5,000 towards the cost of the entire system. Thanks also to Mugunth Vaithylingam, Virender Sanwal and Laxman (installer) for getting this completed.
