On behalf of the members of the House of Representatives of the 125th General Assembly of Ohio, I am pleased to extend special recognition to the
FEDERATION OF JAIN ASSOCIATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA
on the auspicious occasion of its 12th Biennial JAINA Convention, held in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 3-6, 2003.
The Federation of Jain Associations in North America is, indeed, deserving of high praise, for this fine organization has achieved a remarkable record of community service to its members. A peace-loving, charitable people, Jains follow a religious philosophy based on the spiritual value of every living being, and founded in 1981, JAINA fosters friendship and unity among all Jains. With the theme of "Jainism: the Art of Living," the 2003 Biennial JAINA Convention brings families together for spiritual advancement, camaraderie, education, and cultural activities, and its success is a justifiable source of pride and an outstanding reflection not only on the federation itself, but also on its members around the world.
The Federation of Jain Associations in North America has enhanced the quality of life in our society, and its generous contributions have earned it the gratitude and respect of many. I am certain that as this worthy organization maintains its dedication to service, it will continue in the tradition of excellence which has been the hallmark of JAINA since its establishment.

Thus, with sincere pleasure, I commend the Federation of Jain Associations in North America on its 2003 Biennial JAINA Convention and extend best wishes for ongoing success.
