Hon Chairman - Bharatbhai Dhanak
Good evening all.
On behalf of the board of trustees, myself & my executive committee, I take this opportunity to wish all members of our Samaj A happy Diwali & a prosperous new year.
My committee sincerely is dedicated to the Samaj programs, its upkeep & making sure members are well entertained during all our programs. I sincerely thank my committee, the youth wing & our Mahila Mandal for all their support.
Fellow members, you all have done your best in supporting all committees as & when a need arises.
Your presence, contribution & support have made our Samaj progress to greater heights.
It is my wish that our unity remains eternal & may we prosper to bring our institution to a status if deserves.
I take this opportunity to thank you all for your contribution towards the much needed, deep freezer, fridge & the newly acquired seats.
However this is still not an end to our requirements. We need to get new dining tables, renovate the dining hall area to make it into a modern hall as per the present day fashion & design.
As the saying goes Rome was not build in a day we too need to go step by step towards our dream.
I also wish to thank webmaster of Pattni Connection, Mr. Pranbhai Chhaganlal Arjan Dhanak, Pattni Brotherhood, Parajia Samachar & Parajia Prakash for their everlasting support.
I pray for the world Pattni/ Soni members for a happy, healthy & a prosperous long life.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of the evening & the delicious food.
Thank you & god bless.
Jai Mataji.
Pattnis got talent !
The atmosphere during the function was relaxed and livened up by playing cd and yes some live singing as well. Our Samaj members have few impressive talented artists too!
With their singing one can feel the Mombasa soft sea breeze while enjoying the food
The menu was Paneer masala curry, veg curry, biryani, hara bhara kebabs, assorted chutney, tomato and onion salad, varieties of naans, raitu, pickles & cassatta ice cream for dessert.
Overwhelming support for Chairs
We had an overwhelming response to the appeal for the new chairs.
The committee had decided that this year we invest in plastic chairs costing 1300/- each.
After an appeal made on Pattni Connection, members from Nairobi and UK wanted to pledge but we had met our target. They promised us that whenever the next need arises they are always there for Shree Parajia Pattni Samaj.
Our Chairman Bharatbhai has a wide vision for the samaj & wishes to do more towards keeping our samaj according to the times. Bharatbhai is truly a very dynamic leader
On behalf of the trustees, managing committee, I wish you all a happy Diwali & a prosperous new year.
Thank You
Ajay B Pattni (Hon Sec.)
