A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMITTEE We are very pleased and grateful for the vast attendance and participation for all of the HARI events this year. And, we are glad to say that more than 400 devotees participate in all HARI programs and on an average 500+ devotees visit the temple each week. HARI committee members and volunteers are working in concert to provide facilities and services to make HARI an ideal place for all occasions. With the grace of god, we concluded installation of Utsava Murthy s (idols) of Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Padmavathy in the temple. Many grateful devotees participated in this dedication. We are gratified to see that hundreds of devotees attended Adhikamas special program. We are planning to offer regular weekend Abhishekams at the temple for devotees to participate. There will be many cultural events during summer months. Please look for these events in future communications and on our website Your attendance and participation at these events is much appreciated. As we continue to work diligently, we are pleased to inform our community that we are getting close to reaching our membership goals established at the beginning of the year. The membership roster currently stands at 450 and may well exceed the target of 500 for the year. We are planning to have our first cultural event of the year towards the Trust Fund, MAUSAM on Saturday, May 1 st, 2010. All the ticket sales will benefit HARI Temple and Trust Fund. We appeal to all members of our community to donate generously and be part of this event. We are always available for your questions, suggestions, and concerns.
