Dear Devotees

Namaste.

Thank you for your continued support of your Temple by subscribing to 

Temple poojas and family sacraments conducted at your homes or at Temple. 

Devotees like yourselves have made our Temple what it is. Our Priests

hopefully have supported your pooja/sacraments needs timely and to your 

satisfaction. We ask of you to support your Temple this coming year by sponsoring

Temple's Brahmotsava (Temple's 15th)

With so many new devotees in our community, we are soliciting a

broader participation with an introductory sponsorship of $200.

Higher levels of sponsorship are still attractive considering

that they cover so many of poojas conducted at the Temple.

Even in the trying times we have been in from March of this year, 

we have conducted all the poojas we are required to perform 

thanks to our dedicated priests and volunteers.

Sincerely, 

Temple's Baord of Volunteers
