The youth members from the University Jain Society at The University of Texas at Austin would like to cordially invite all interested youth and adults to the Third Annual South Region Jain Youth Conference to be held in Austin, Texas during the Thanksgiving Day Weekend 1994. The Conference will begin Friday, November 25th and continue through Saturday, November 26th. This Conference is unique in that it is the first ever regional gathering of both adults and youth.

along with joint activities between the adults and the youth. The entire format of the Conference will be very similar to past JAINA Conventions, with numerous workshops, panels, seminars, and open forum discussions. Also, there are plans on having two very distinguished guest speakers from our Jain community. The theme for * this Conference will focus on the environment and the ecology, topics that have not really been discussed from a Jain viewpoint. We also plan on having workshops on matters such as vegetarianism in the 1990's and animal compassion. We urge everyone to attend this Conference, especially interested ⚫ youth and adults from North America. If anyone from outside the South Region wants to attend, please contact Mrs. Hansaben Varia » (First Vice-President of JAINA * from the South Region) at (214) 644-0294 for further information concerning this monumental event.
