PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings from the Executive Committee and the Volunteers of the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore. I
hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer weather. The Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore has lined up
many outstanding events for the summer and fall season for your entertainment. I would like to take
a moment to thank all our members for their generous and continuous support. I would also like to
thank all our volunteers, their spouses, and their families for their dedication and hard work for our
community.
The Annual Picnic: We would like to invite you, your family, and your friends to the
summer picnic on Sunday August 4th at the Centennial Park East, Columbia from 12:00 PM- 7:30
PM at Pavilion H. This event comes with delicious Gujarati food, volleyball courts, cricket, a
playground, bingo, prizes, and much more. Please join us to have a great time. Please RSVP via online
Registration, which is now open at our website www.gsbaltimore.org.
The Annual Yatra: On Sunday, September 8th, GSB will be taking you to Vraj. This will be a great trip full of fun,
relaxation and a wonderful spiritual experience. Our one-day Yatra has been very popular with our
members, especially, our seniors. If you are interested in donating for this event, please contact any
of the committee members for more information. You can find more information about this event
elsewhere in the newsletter. We cannot wait to see you there!
Navratri Programs: This year, we will be hosting the Navratri Raas-Garbas on four Saturday

programs in the Maryland area will be organized again this year at the huge Meadowbrook Athletic
Complex in Ellicott City. Please join us for these amazing Raas-Garba programs. More information
on this will come closer to the event.
