Holiday Fundraising Results

Sunday marked the conclusion of Bhaktivedanta Academy's 2010 holiday fundraiser. We sold 420 tins of prasadam cookies and fudge and as a result collected over $4,500! We are still tabulating all expenses but expect to raise over $3,000. This was, by far, our most successful holiday sales event ever.

I want to thank our community of parents, teachers, students, and supporters who all helped make this possible. In particular, I would like to acknowledge our army of volunteers who baked, packaged, and sold on behalf of Bhaktivedanta Academy:

  • Adi Gopi
  • Ananga Manjari (Herrera)
  • Ananga Manjari & Bhagavan (Bauer)
  • Gopi Prema
  • Haridas (De Pena)
  • Jadurani
  • Jagannath Kirtan
  • Jahnava (Rico)
  • Jatamamsi
  • Jaya Govardhana
  • Jvalamukhi
  • Kamala
  • Kanchambala, Hanuman & Vishnu
  • Krishna Dhama, Gaura Shakti & Krisangi
  • Ksina
  • Lali Shyam
  • Madhavi
  • Madhuri
  • Malati
  • Narada
  • Narottama (Esser)
  • Nataka-candrika
  • Nitai Lila
  • Nrsimhananda
  • Padmaksi
  • Pishima & Ramacandra
  • Radha Kunda
  • Varshana
  • Vrindavanesvari
  • Yadurani, Param & Anasuya
  • Yamuna & Raghunath

Special thanks goes to Padmaksi, who for the third year in a row spearheaded the production effort. We would have been completely lost without her.

I also want to thank the New Raman Reti temple administration for allowing us to use its new kitchen. Use of this great facility made our work immensely easier.

I wish you all a great holiday and am looking forward to a wonderful new year.
