Dear Devotees,

As you must be aware, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Temple on 19th July. During this event, we plan to hold a sale of Indian handicraft items donated by members of the community. We are looking for Indian arts and craft items that you do not need any more but are in good condition. If you have such items, please consider donating them to the Temple.

The items can include:
Flower vases, brass lamps, paintings, statues, wall hangings, fashion jewelry, accessories, jewelry box, mehendi tattoos, children's Indian clothes (if in almost new condition), Indian books (including cookery books), etc.

The items may be brought to the Temple and left in the Coat & Shoe room, or handed to one of the priests for passing them on to Ashim Aggarwal or Mrs. Lakshmy Gopal. The donors are requested to leave a slip with approximate purchase price (in rupees or dollars), along with their name, phone number and email address with the items so that items that remain unsold can be returned to the donors. The items will be donated to the Temple and the proceeds will go to the Temple.

If you plan to donate, please bring the items by July 18 so that they can be prepared for sale. We request that you please make the items presentable (dust removed, etc.) so that they can be sold.

Sincerely,

Bharatiya Temple of Lansing
