Brahmin Samaj of Ontario Newsletter JUNE 2014 President s Message Dear Samaj Members, I'm honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve the members of Brahmin Samaj of Ontario as a President, for this year of 2014-15. I am well aware of the trust that has been placed in me to lead our Samaj to the next level. What s Included President s Message Current Committee Events Donation Membership Sponsors Our esteemed Samaj has grown over past decade or so and is expected to grow even further, but it cannot foster the growth without unbinding support of new members, renewal members and enthusiastic individuals who have participated by providing volunteer services for past several decades. Without such impeccable volunteers, Samaj growth would have been standstill. I'm fortunate to have talented group of people within current committee. Our goal this year is to continue providing extra ordinary events throughout the year and I'm very confident that with guidance of our senior members, enthusiasm of our youth members, financial support from donors & sponsors, coming year will bring us lot of fun & excitement! My personal motto is to 'Involve & Inspire'. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." So, let's all come together, get involved and be the change we want to see in our Samaj. I encourage all Brahmins to join this growing and vibrant community! I'm looking forward to meet you all during forthcoming Samaj events. Jai Shree Krishna. Har Har Mahadev.
