This
year, apart from introducing several new events at JCNC, there has been
Chhatra chadava ceremony, installation of new surveillance camera
system along with many add-on new items. Also our Sangh is very fortunate that several dignitaries have visited so far this year in 2017: Saman Shri Shrutaprajnaji, Shri Nayanbhai Sanghavi, Shri Harshbhai Chhadva, Aacharya Shri Chandanaji and Sadhvi Shri Sanghamitraji, Samniji Shri Bhavit Pragyaji & Samniji Shri Ratna Pragyaji ,
Vidhikar Shri Narendra bhai Nanduji, Singer Shri Kummar Chatterjee,

about 40 ladies) visited JCNC and JCNC Mumukshu Sangh (70+ people) visited NJ. As announced earlier, bod driven JCNC construction work will start in the last quarter of the year, and so we will limit the new events and activities for some time. Clearly, JCNC activities have increased, the volunteer force needed to implement these activities has also increased. I urge you all to come forward and participate in volunteer work and carry the ownership of taking the JCNC to the next level. Once again, on behalf of JCNC Board, Executive Committee and all Volunteers I would like to extend my warm greetings and pray to Lord Adinath that all of us be the source of progress and the power of positive energy all around. Have a happy and spiritually uplifted upcoming Paryushan Maha Parva!!
“Sabka Saath, JCNC Sangh Ka Vikas” Thank you and Jai Jinendra! |
