It is so gratifying to receive so many e.mail msgs as well as comments thru web site on the election of Lion's Club Presidency. This is indeed a small token of contribution as compared to so many noble Indians doing so much in this land of opportunity. Indians dedicating in the mainstream of America has multitude of advantages for Indians in the short term as well as long term. The mutual trust, confidence and friendship that we cultivate has long term benefits for future generations of Indians who will move to America for their education and migration. Our Indian intellectualism added with our honesty and hard work is very much appreciated by the Americans who will go far and beyond to help our nation in so many ways of our future challenges. India is a nation of human capital, and our integration with America will help us to move forward ten fold in the years to come. Our giving back to the community in America in whichever form will help us to foster greater relations that will bring social, educational, economical and peaceful benefits that time alone will tell. Let us therefore continue to extend our help towards humanity in whichever way possible because America does so much good for all of us. God bless
