United States Senate
WASHINGTON, DC 20510-3203
July 4th, 2017
Dear Friends:
Please accept my salutations and congratulation as you gather for the 19th Biennial JAINA Convection, themed "Jainism and Science". Although I could not be with you today, I am grateful for the opportunity to recognize the great work of JAINA on this momentous occasion.
Democratic Leader
JAINA has worked tirelessly over the years to preserve, practice and promote the rich cultural values of Jain Dharma and the Jain Way of Life. The success of JAINA has grown and it is measured by the strength and dedication of all its members and leadership. By utilizing its vast resources and collaborating with members of the community, continues to transform the lives of many through the spirit of cooperation and faith.
As the largest Jain organization outside of India, JAINA also proves an opportunity to represent over 125,000 Jains. JAINA ensures that their members have the tools necessary to contribute to the principles and values of the Jain Way of Life. I applaud the hard work JAINA has exemplified throughout its years of service.
Again, congratulations and on behalf of all New Yorkers, I thank you for your hard work and dedication. I hope that the JAINA Federation will continue to thrive for many years to come. Best wishes for a wonderful evening.
Sincerely,
Charles Schumer
