Dear Samaj Families,

First and foremost, I would like to express my warmhearted thanks to all of you for giving me the opportunity to serve as the President of our esteemed organization, the Gujarati Samaj of MN.

I am deeply humbled and appreciative of the trust you have bestowed upon me to take leadership of the community.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work and dedication provided by the past committee members, volunteers, trustees and last but not least, the members at large.

We continue to seek your guidance and support.

My goals and aspirations over the next year are to bring and reinforce the greater Twin Cities community together, preserve the heritage of Gujarat, promote cultural, religious, educational, social and charitable activities, and finally encourage youth through participation into various cultural and entertainment activities, laying the groundworks for future generations.

I pray to God to give me strength and guidance, so I can successfully fulfill all my duties and responsibilities.

Our own Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was a true symbol of UNITY.

Unity and teamwork show strength. When there is teamwork, collaboration and collective efforts, wonderful things can be achieved. I am a strong believer in the power of WE!

I urge you all to get involved into various Samaj activities, be part of team through volunteering in the area of interest and expertise. We are ALWAYS open for new ideas, suggestions and feedback.

Altogether we can make 2019 as most memorable and enjoyable year!

Sandeep Patel
President, GSMN 2019
