Saraswati Puja 2016

We start this year with our first event Saraswati Puja, to be held on February 13th, Saturday at the Terwilliger Lodge, Dulle Park, Cincinnati , OH 45242 (near Bethesda North Hospital). As part of CCI's community outreach, we will conduct a food drive for the Cincinnati based “Our Daily Bread” organization. Please visit their website at www.odb.org to learn about the work they do. They have requested us for the following items:

• Paper Napkins, Towels, Toilet Paper.
• Sugar/Sweetner, Coffee creamer.
• Mayo/Salad dressing, vinegar, tomato sauce.
• Canned Vegetables. 

We humbly request our members to donate some of these items. It will be great if our children can be involved in this process. We will collect the donations at Saraswati Puja.
