Our Cincinnati Durga Utsav planning for 2016 was kicked off in right earnest by the Board of Trustees over the past weekend. Thanks to all those members who had shown interest to be a part of the core team by responding to BOT's invitation mail sent out earlier. With the key planning assignments in place, we will get to hear from the core team on various aspects of the pujo planning over the next few months.
Donations from the community was one of the key areas that was discussed. This is one area where we could potentially emulate the culture followed in similar organizations elsewhere; an area which we probably have not tapped and leveraged to the extent, we could have over the years. Keeping in mind that we will be organizing our 10th annual Durga Utsav in 2017 - an important milestone in the journey of our organization - it is even more important and critical that we have a plan to build upon our existing corpus ... significantly.
We have set a big, hairy, audacious goal for ourselves; and true to the spirit, we received a pledge of 2000 dollars in the first meeting itself from 4 of our members ! Isn't that wonderful? No goal is big enough, hairy enough, audacious enough, if every one of us pitches in and donates whatever amounts he/she is comfortable with. Every single dollar counts. And we are counting on your support!

Have a good week !
