Saraswati Puja 2016

​We will be celebrating Saraswati Puja on Saturday, 13th February between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm 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 & paper products collection drive for the Cincinnati based “Our Daily Bread”. Please visit their website at www.odb.org for more information about the organization. They have requested us for the following items.
  • Paper napkins, towels, toilet paper.
  • Sugar/sweetener, 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 all the donations at the venue.
