Received warm welcome from the local Sangh(s) –collective worship – prayers – temple tours etc.

This year we had a chance to go to DC sightseeing and had a tour of Capitol Hill – Thanks to Manesh and Meena Shah for arranging this visit

The expense was $150/person plus we did receive $2313 in donation. We very much appreciate this donation from the donors.
