AN URGENT APPEAL
Our Temple is now over 10 years old, and is in need of significant repair, maintenance work and improvements. The total estimated cost is approx. $120,000.00. We have established a separate fund to accomplish this goal. The name of the fund is "OMKARA MAHAGANAPATHY DEVSTHANAM FUND" (OMDM Fund).
To kick-start this fund-raiser, we will have a special dinner program at the temple this Saturday the 3rd of December at 6:00 p.m. It will begin with dinner and musical entertainment by Naga Valli (http://myspace.com/nagavalli) and her Orchestra from Austin and a short comedy by Dr. Girija Shankar chintapalli. Tickets are: $20 per adult, $10.00 for children 4-12 years and free for children 3 years and under.
In addition, we are proposing 3 types of sponsorship to meet our goal:
