Here are some updates from Rocky Mountain Gujarati Samaj.
Thank you for making our annual picnic such a success. We had close to 500 people participated in this year’s event.
Members and guests enjoyed food, hiking, play time and it truly became a great social gathering of Gujaratis in the area.
We also want to Thank Volunteers who helped that day. We can honestly say that without your help, this program would not have been as successful.
We also want to share some exciting news with our members. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has approved our application as a non profit organization. We are now officially a 501(c)4 organization.
We want to reiterate our need for cash. We have finalized all events for this year and it appears that we will be approx. $30,000 in loss. This means we need to raise $30,000 in donations this year. We are pleased to say that we have already reached 40% of our target (THANK YOU to those who have already donated) for this donation. We need your help. Please donate generously to the Samaj so we can keep bringing quality events.
