Programme updates as on 31st July 2008

Hello Members,

It is time for another long list of social commitments and Diwali bonanza announcements.

EYE CAMP

The recently organised eye check up camp has been highly appreciated by our members. Most of them have benefited a lot from the help given by Dr. Jagruti Desai MS (Opth). JJC Juhu gives heartfelt thanks to Dr. Jagruti for her time and dedication. After the success of the check up camp, Dr.Jagruti has volunteered to do Cataract operations FREE OF COST exclusively only for JJC Juhu members. Members who want to avail this facility should contact the Secretaries to obtain a letter and further details.

ANNADAAN

Our centre has been on the front post for Annadaan project for last three years with the help of its generous members. To take a step forward in the same direction, our centre is getting associated with a state government initiative. JJC Juhu has decided to be a part of Maharashtra government and ISKCON Foor Relief Foundation project called MID-DAY meal for the government aided and municipal school children. Our centre has decided to sponsor meals for 100 students of a Municipal school located in Andheri East. The approximate cost of the same is Rs.1.44 lakh. Members who wish to donate for this initiative can offer their help and get in touch with the committee members. The donation will give 100 % Tax Exemption under I.T. section 35 AC.

PARYUSHAN VYAAKHYAAN MALA

As our religious festival Paryushan Parva approaches during the last week of August and first week of September, Jain Jagruti Centres with Jain Social Groups would be organising a Vyaakhyaan Mala. The details of the same would be announced soon.

MADHYA PRADESH CALLING

Yipppeeeeeee !!!!!!!!! It is finally confirmed. As mentioned earlier about Diwali vacation tour, committee has decided to offer its members to go out and explore the splendour of nature in the heart of India. The Hill stations of Madhya Pradesh are inviting members of JJC Juhu. Panchmarhi, Marbles Rock and Bedaaghat are the beautiful locales where our members can enjoy their Diwali outing. Finer details like the tour date and schedule will be announced soon. So if you are planning to join in, keep yourself updated on the blog and keep in touch with the committee before the seats of the tour get housefull.

We are Connected now..

Hello Members,

I feel happy to announce that some of our members have taken out time from their busy schedules to look at our blog. The feedback received till now has been very positive and encouraging. Since they are the one of the first few, let me mention their names to create the bonding which would last long.

First on the ball was Virag Shah who says, "I really appreciate that the group is trying to use latest technology to communicate its members. Keep updating the blog so that even if one does not receive the circular, he/she has the other option. Keep it up."

Then it was Kenil Sheth who also felt that: The blog is made pretty neat and he liked the communication notices made to members. He says, "Do let me know if I can assist on anything further. Good job.Thanks."

Mahendrabhai Lakhani was another member who found the posting interesting and intends to send useful articles and read-ups for all members. His feedback is highly appreciated and looking forward for a feedback from all members. If anyone of you has any suggestion, it is most welcomed. Awaiting some more mails and replies. Thanks.

The latest feedback has come from Harshad bhai Shah. He says, "This is really an excellent initiative from JJC Juhu (16). At a later date, we can do away with physical circular for those members who have on line access of their mail. If not members, atleast their children would have e mail access."

The ball is rolling. As more and more feedbacks come I will keep posting it on the blog..Thank you all..

Programme update_30/07/08

Hello Members,

I know it has been a long time and there has been no news from our side, but let me put the blame on the rains. The last few days Rain God has not allowed me to sit home or in office to pen down another post for you all.

It has pushed me to go out and enjoy getting wet. The rains were just so iressitible. Anyways coming to the point, this is the update to our next programme which is scheduled on Friday, 8th August, 2008 at Bhaidas Hall from 09:30 pm. It is a Daairo called Kausumbi No Rang presented by Lakhan Odedra. The artists of the presentation are Bihari Hemu Gadhvi, Tina Chheda, Hareshdan Gadhvi with Jiludan Gadhvi compering the show.

That is not all. There is also delicious food for all of you. Members will be served a box full of heavy snacks with their tickets. The distribution of tickets and snacks would start from 08:30 pm to 09:30 pm. Please ensure you get your programme cards as well as the dinner cards and co-operate with the working committee.

In between all this if you want to celebrate your Diwali out of Mumbai, JJC Juhu plans to help you for an outing of around 9 days. The committee is in discussions with various leading hotels to organise an enjoyable tour at the best possible price. The place has not been zeroed in, but very soon it will be announced.

The Jain Jagruti Centre - Charitable Trust has announced that it has set a target of collecting Rs4.5 crores through donations for Higher Education Fund. This target will only be achieved if the members of all the groups come forward to support. For further details please contact the committee.

Samuh Lagna has been one of the biggest success story for JJC-Central Board. This years edition of Samuh Lagna has been announced to be held on 13th December, 2008 at the SRP Grounds in Jogeshwari (East).

Coming back to activities in our centre, the committee has put forward a proposal to revise the Annual Subscription fees for members and the Renewal Fees for Jewel Members too. Since now we have a platform in form of this blog where we can exchange ideas and initiate a discussion, committee would appreciate a feedback on the same from the members at the earliest possible time. Looking forward for genuine suggestions.

Till then enjoy the little left monsoon season and await another chilling winter. Also hope all your family and friends in the blast torn city of Ahmedabad and terrified Surat are well. Still awaiting more and more feedback on jjcjuhu16@gmail.com..

Hello Members,

Programme number 32 which was Gujarati play; Baa Baapuji ni 20-20, Programme number 33 which was Hindi movie Kismat Konnection and programme number 34 which was another hindi film are the ones.

But the silver lining in the dark cloud is that our next programme is scheduled to be on 08th August, 2008. The details of the same will be couriered to each and every member. Till then enjoy the not-so-rainy monsoon season. Also please send in your comments on this new initiative and give your feedback too..Thanks..
