Jivdaya Drive - 25th Anniversary Mahotsav
Dear JSGD members,
As we eagerly anticipate our 10-day Mahotsav celebration, we are honored to align ourselves with an organization that upholds the sacred principle of ahimsa in Jainism. JSGD takes great pride in joining forces with the Jiv Daya organizations, which is dedicated to combating animal cruelty. During our festivities, we will have an information desk to learn more about their noble cause. If you wish to contribute to this cause ahead of time, please get in touch with Nutan Shah at 248.709.3539 to make a donation. Together, let us embrace the spirit of compassion and contribute towards creating a more harmonious world for all living beings.
Thank you,
Jaya Shah
President of JSGD

JOY Alumni Session : Reflect & Express
Jai Jinendra!
Over the past twenty-five years, JOY has been a crucial part of our society. Our youth members have grown socially, religiously, and professionally – and this has served them well as they grow into adults, lead their careers, and have families of their own.
As a part of the JSGD 25th Anniversary, we are so excited to announce a JOY alumni session: Reflect & Express. We’re welcoming back JOY alumni of all ages, from college students, to new professionals, and leaders in their fields. Reflect & Express is a three-part event: we’ll learn from a panel of JOY alumni, host a meet & greet networking event to connect society to this community, and end with a vision to look forward to the next twenty-five years.
We truly hope to see you and your kids there – there is so much to learn from our future leaders, and so much nostalgia to come back to.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
