Dear Sadharmik Brothers and Sisters, |
|
|
|
| We, the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee would like to thank all of you for making the 39th JCA Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Celebration - a grand success, held last Sunday on April 25, 2021. This is the first time that JCA organized such an event online. Your enthusiasm and energy was very motivating and your presence was felt by us all. We thank you for your support and look forward to your continued participation in future events.

|
|
| More than 500 families attended the event from all over the world making it one of the highest attended Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Program from different parts of the world. We would like to specially recognize 114 Participants, 16 Directors, Volunteers, Countless Zoom Calls, numerous Google forms and stringent deadlines to put up a beautiful medley of dance, drama and artful display, with 12 well choreographed items and other JCA Programs. Participant's ages ranged from 3 year to 19 year old.
