I want to extend my warmest greetings to the members and friends of the Federation of Jain Association in North America during your 12th Biennial JAINA Convention, held at the Cincinnati Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 3-6, 2003.
A special welcome is extended to all visitors to the State of Ohio. We are truly proud of our great state and are delighted and honored to have you here. I hope that you will take time to explore Cincinnati and take advantage of all this great city has to offer.
We are pleased to have a culturally and spiritually rich state and we appreciate the ways in which organizations such as the Federation of Jain Association in North America contribute to the spiritual strength of Ohio. The State of Ohio's greatest treasure is its people, and we recognize the unique benefits that can be achieved from the celebration of our religious and multicultural diversity.
I salute the officers and members of the Federation of Jain Association in North America for your commitment to promote peace and goodwill to all people.
On behalf of all Ohioans, best wishes for a memorable convention as you celebrate "Jainism ... the Art of Living."
