Dear Community Members,
Many of you already know about the North American Jat Charity and its contribution to the cause of community. You will all be happy to know that the North American Jat Charity now has its own web site at www.najatcharities.org (http://www.najatcharities.org/) thanks to the hard work done by Shikha, Kapoor Singh and Harish Dhayal. You all are requested to visit this web site.
The purpose of this post is to make the entire community aware of this organization, its functioning and what it brings for the community. Let me discuss some of the issues that may be of interest to you all.
The Organization:
Most of the information about the organization is posted on its web site. I am discussing the reasons for this organization's existence. We have a very vibrant and active organization functional at the East Coast called Association of Jats in America (AJA) NE Chapter. All Jat families make to the two get to gathers organized every year, first the annual Picnic organized in July and second the Diwali Function organized in November. AJA essentially is a social organization and did not give members opportunities to contribute charitable giving to the community back home taking the tax-exempt benefits for the contributions. Thus, with the hard work of our founding members this organization was created.
The Purpose of this Post:
Any organization is as strong as its members are. While we do have a large membership, we need to grow and in times to come become a pioneer organization to help our community. Any organization of this nature usually takes off with large contributions from small group of members. I personally feel that small contributions from large number of members makes an organization more strong.
Let me assure you I am not requesting for any contributions from any one for the organization through this post for it is each individual’s own call to do so. What I am requesting is that members should visit the web site, know about this organization and if they feel, that it is some thing they would like to join, do let me know about it. I personally feel that most community members located on the East Coast may like to join this organization and help the community by advising us with their views.
NAJC Meetings:
NAJC holds two meetings each year for the purpose of discussing the progress made, new projects taken and deciding about the scholarships that it provides. It is not necessary to be member of NAJC to attend these meetings. Any one can whether he/she is member or not can attend these meetings. It will be a good idea to attend at least one meeting and have first hand knowledge of this organization. The next meeting will take place in December. I have volunteered to organize this meeting. The date is not yet finalized. It will be a lunch meeting starting around 11:00 A.M. Usually the meeting and lunch all together take about 3 to 4 hours of time. I am sure; we all can spare this much time for the community. The next meeting will take place at "Crown Of India" Restaurant at Plainsboro, NJ. It is close to Exit 8A of turnpike.
I request you all to make it a big success. Let us learn what the community members are doing for the community and contribute our bit for the success of this organization.
I thank you all for taking time to read this post, give your comments and visiting the web site of NAJC.
