DONATIONS :
£1000 from Prafulla and Bakulchandra Jayantilal Kothari on the occasion of Shivratri and in memory of their son – Kunal’s grandparents – The late Jayalaxmi and Jayantilal Dhirajlal Kothari.  Kendra’s heartiest thanks and Best Wishes to them.  This donation is a milestone as it is the first time in the history of Kendra that members have donated such a large sum of four figures and more so as it is under ‘giftaid’ ( so Kendra will reclaim another £200).

1.After ‘Farari’ lunch today all Kendra members are invited to join in the Shivratri puja which is going on in the ground floor Hall from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm.  There will therefore be no programme today.
