On behalf of the members of the board of trustees of the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of Birmingham, We send you the heartiest wishes for a very happy, peaceful and a prosperous new year.

We appreciate the continued high level of support from your family and the entire Hindu community of Greater Birmingham and state of Alabama. The temple continues to play a greater role in the life of the growing Indian community. The facility has seen increased utilization by families for their family functions such as birthday celebrations, graduations, marriages and anniversaries. There was active participation from persons of all ages in programs such as, Pongal (Makara Sankranti), Baisakhi, Ramnavami, Temple anniversary, Independence Day, Janamashtmi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Diwali as well as the New Year Eve celebrations during last year. We could not have done this without your personal and financial support.

The Hindi, Gujarati & Telugu language classes, Music lessons and Yoga sessions have continued also through true voluntary support of many of you. Many religious discourses by learned visiting saints and scholars have also enriched our community.

We request your continued commitment to your own temple and hope you will renew your membership and if you are not a member, to become a new member of the temple in this year. Please use the attached Membership Form.

Please take a moment today, to write a check and mail to show your support. May the blessings of the Lord be with you through out the New Year.

Mahender Reddy, Chairman
