MIS INFORMATION: THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
Guideline to all perspective participants
Be positive, constructive, creative and friendly! No match is going to be "perfect." Complement and support each other practicing respect, sharing, acquire knowledge and maintaining your uniqueness while keeping an open mind. These are the qualities that make for human perfection. Our world is shrinking and we are a global village and life is not always easy. However, we can carry our philosophy and our value system that is very worth while, with us. Accept the challenge and make your choice be a worth while one.

Placing an Ad and Registration with MIS
Anyone wishing to place an ad and register with the MISMarriage Information Service--must follow these instructions carefully:
Please notify the MIS
Please notify the MIS when an engagement or marriage has been announced. This helps us to know if this community service is working to help maintain our traditions.
Please note that if a successful alliance has taken place, both parties will agree to donate what ever amount they wish to JAINA to help defray the cost of publication.
Fill out the attached Registration Form. The registrant must fill out this form. Do not leave anything blank.

Hasmukh M. Shah 8721 Scrimshaw Drive New Port Richey, FL 34653-6623

Important considerations
It is important to remember that the MIS is a non-for-profit, voluntary community service. The MIS and JAINA assume no responsibility or liability for the accuracy or authenticity of the information furnished in the ads or any consequences resulting thereof. The entire responsibility rests with the candidates themselves.
All information furnished to the MIS is confidential. Only those who are sincerely interested in looking for a Jain life partner should send a Registration Form. While matching, photographs will not be passed on to the candidates by the MIS.
Parents/guardians should communicate with the candidate before placing ad and assist them in making a final decision.
Upon receipt of this information the MIS will draft an ad for you and it will appear in the Jain DIGEST—but only once. Remember, JAIN DIGEST is a quarterly publication.
Congratulations!
JAINA would like to congratulate all couples who have come together with the help of the services of the MIS. JAINA wishes to thank them for their generous donation.

Placing an Ad Only

As a rule, all MIS ads include the phone number of the registrant. However, if you do not wish to publish your phone number, you must specifically notify Hasmukh M. Shah.
