YOUNG JAINS OF AMERICA:
Young Jains Conference to be held in Pittsburgh
Thanksgiving Weekend The Young Jains of Pittsburgh, along with YJA, are proud to host the Pittsburgh Young Jain's Convention which will occur from November 22nd to the 25th, 2001 (Thanksgiving weekend). The convention will be held at the Carnegie-Mellon University and attendees will stay at the Residence Inn. The total cost for food and housing is $100. We are expecting close to 100 attendees. We anticipate a nice blend between religious and social events to help youth acquire more awareness regarding Jainism and how to maintain our culture not only in a western society, but also into the new millennium. We are aiming for the youth to develop friendships with other from various societies. Past regional conventions have been remarkable and rewarding and we look forward to welcoming all of you. Look for our website coming soon at: http://www.yja.org/pittsburghconference
