2013 AGM Meeting Chairmans Message
Dear Temple Board Members, Members, Priests
and Devotees,
Hari Om ,Namaste and Good Morning:
Calendar for 2014 Annual Dinner. I want to thank our Religious Chair Mr. Dhaval Vaishnav along with his team including
volunteers, priests, etc., who made sure that every event was
planned properly from decorating the lobby to the place of
worship, food and the parking . This year we have to bring
new ideas and plans which can continue on an ongoing basis
year after year to generate revenues. A good stream of revenues is one of the most important and wanted need for any
organization of our nature. We have a place of worship and
a beautiful banquet hall, along with classrooms, to meet the
needs of the community. To maintain this beautiful building we
need to pay all the bills to keep it healthy. We all go and buy
Health Insurance for our health and try to plan for our Retirement. For this beautiful Temple, we all have to plan for the
ongoing maintenance and the retirement, so that there is no
debt. I am requesting all of you to please get involved in the
revenue process at any level. You all can help the temple in
one of the following ways:
Sign up for automatic monthly debits from your bank or
credit card account to pay off the mortgage.
Loan money to the temple at interest free certificates of
deposits so that those can be used to pay the debt of the
Temple.
Make one time donations to be a Life Member and qualify for all the benefits of being a Life Member.
Most important is , to commit to pay for any recurring
expense of the temple, which include utilities (electricity,
gas, water), Sunday Prasad, Maintenance, Flower Decorations ,etc. for a particular deity
Sponsor any of the regular activities. A complete list of
events for 2013 is available on the website
www.thehindutemple.org and the list for 2014 will be
posted soon.

2013 Chairmans Message
2013 Chairmans Message continued.
Another addition to the temple this year has been our own
library. I want to thank Trupti Modi and Brenda Vaishnav
along with other volunteers who took the lead to make sure
that this project, which was started 10 years back, is a reality.
I am pleased to announce that the library is open and is functioning. As always, we are in need of volunteers to run it. So
if you are available, please let us know so that we can include
you in the schedule.
Let us pray to God and look for his wisdom, guidance and
blessings for all of us so that we all together can make this an
historic place for all the times to come.
If you have any comments or concerns, you can reach me at
(313)617-3596 or any of our board or committee members at
(734)981-8730. You can also email your suggestions to me at
sakhuja.anil@yahoo.com.
In the end, I would like to make a request that you all bring
your friends, family members, guests and relatives to the temple, your own place of worship. I also encourage all devotees
to make use of all the facilities available at the temple including the havan area, banquet hall and classrooms to support the
temple. I also request that you all stay connected with the temple by not only providing financial help but also volunteering
Sincerely,
Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Mata Ki

2013 AGM Meeting Minutes
Approval to reduce temple emergency funds from
$500,000 to $250,000.
Anil ji gave the following information about the temple
emergency funds.
Temple has been maintaining $500,000 cash at hand for
emergencies
Temple has not touched those funds for last 3 to 4 years
Last AGM multiple questions were raised regarding why
we are keeping$500,000 in cash and not reducing our
debt by making additional payment
If we pay $250,000 extra payment from our emergency
cash funds then we can save $10,000 per year In interest
payment
Board of trustees discussed this in their board meeting and
approved payment for additional $250,000 .
Motion is on the table for temple members to reduce cash
reserve from $500,000 to $250,000 and pay $250,000
towards additional principle
Motion was put on the floor by Anil ji and members voted
