NAVJIVAN VADIL KENDRA – ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THURS –2/8
1). With your blessings and “Well wish”” messages I have now resumed all my activities and am back to normal. Many members had sent me get well messages, rang me or visited me. Also a member had offered to give me lift as I could not drive car for 6 weeks. To all of you my Heartfelt thanks.
On behalf of NVK, I welcome members who have attended today but some members have been unable to attend because of sickness, baby sitting or some celebrations. We wish speedy recovery to the sick and all to return soon, enjoy and take part in Kendra’s activities.

3). *Today’s lunch is sponsored by Sudhaben Kapasi to celebrate the birthday of Vinodbhai Kapashi, which was on 23/7. Our Heartiest Congratulations, Best Wishes and pray that he enjoys many more birthdays to come. We are indeed happy to see him still active in Kendra and communities at his age.
*August month has started and the joint sponsors for “Chaas” for the month are Navinbhai Vaid, Kusumben D Punater and Ranjanben Kundalia. Many thanks to all from Kendra.

Just before Bingo started, Jasuben Sheth called Vinodbhai Kapashi at the stage and sang the “Happy Birthday” song and also said that Vinodbhai at this age is still very active. Then, Sudhaben and Vinodbhai’s grand-daughters recited a song and also played a tune on clarinet. Everyone enjoyed this.

11). Jasuben Sheth announced about programme on 16/8 and requested members to come prepared.
12). President – Vinod Parekh announced that we have received 3 large Thermos – dispensable type for general use by Kendra from Rajniben and Dhansukh Damani. Many thanks for their generous gift.
He also clarified about the date of our Diwali Dhamaka programme which some members felt should not have been kept during mid-term holidays. We had to select week day and not week-end because of cost factor. Parking was a big issue during school term and hence we had to choose the mid-term holiday. We have given you sufficient time so you can arrange to plan your holidays or make arrangement on how to take care of your grand children on that day.
