JAIN DIGEST .. May 2011
JAINA office: Jain Center of America (NY) has continued to offer office space for JAINA Headquarters in their center. JAINA is thankful for their generosity. JAINA Convention: This is the first time a convention is held in Southern part of United States. The volunteers from Houston Jain Society are working very hard to make this convention a big success. A unique play "Gandhi vs. Gandhi" will be presented by artists coming from India. A good daytime programming, excellent entertainment is planned for the benefit of attendees. The registration trend has been very positive so please register, if you have not had a chance to do so. Please note that many JAINA volunteers are doing an excellent work quietly and without much fanfare. The list of events mentioned above is the result of their dedication and hard work - for which, I remain very grateful. None of this would have been possible without the support of JAINA EC, Board of Directors and Jain community of North America. I hope that JAINA continues to grow and my best wishes are with next administration. See you all at the Convention in Houston. With warm Regards
