Dear Samaj Members,

Jai Shri krishna

After the success of Valentine party, attended by 100 + members,

we have organized our ever popular event, “HOLI” as well as

“ANAND BAZAR”.

Holi has been organized on Saturday, April 07 2012.

ANAND BAZAR will take place on Saturday, May 05 2012.

I request everyone to please join us in celebrating the Holi event.

There will be a snack after the Holi calibration.

I would also like to request members to please contact any

committee member to reserve the food stall. Our delicious and

mouthwatering dishes are enough to attract the big crowd of

members, not to mention the various games. So please come and
