PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings from the Executive Committee and the Volunteers of the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore,
It is my honor and privilege to serve as the President of the Samaj for the second year. I am humbled by the trust and confidence
placed in me by the committee members and past presidents, and I am committed to finishing this year with the same success we have
achieved together over the years.
This year holds special meaning, as it marked the 50th Anniversary of the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore. We are truly delighted and grateful
for the enthusiastic support and cooperation we have received from our members, guests, and the wider community across Baltimore
and the State of Maryland.
A Look Back at Our Successful Year
We are proud to share a few highlights of this memorable year:
Snowtubing Event – a fun-filled outing for families and friends.
Drama Event – celebrating art and culture with our community.
The Grand 50th Year Celebration – the largest milestone event in our history, where we in-vited and honored all past presidents for their leadership and contributions in building the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore.
A Superstar Singer from India – for the first time ever, we brought an international-level artist to perform, showcasing the rich talent of our culture.
None of these events would have been possi-ble without the dedication of our committee members and volunteers, who work tirelessly to make every program successful and enjoy-able.
