JAINA Charitable Trust An Appeal for Membership
During the past twelve years Jains in North America have seen the ever increasing activities of JAINA. Our most important responsibility is to see that these activities continue and help maintain a meaningful Jain environment. To do this we need everyone's support to make JAINA a financially stable organization. To help accomplish this a JAINA Charitable Trust has been established.

They are: Mahendra Pandya, New York, NY-Chair: Niranjan Shah, Chicago, IL-Vice Chair; Bharat Tolia, Detroit, MI-Secretary General; Dhiraj Shah, Buffalo, NY-Controller of Finance; Members-at-Large: Mahendra Varia, Martin, KY; Bhupendra Tolia, Norwood, NJ; Rashmi Kant Gardi, Chicago, IL.
