Poson Festival - Saturday June 10, 2006

 

 

Dear All:

 

Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to organize the Poson poya. On behalf of the entire community, we would like to thank Bhante Wajirapala for his tireless and firm leadership, which cultivated the ideal atmosphere for the day long Poson program.   Overall, we were honored to plan the event, amongst such enthusiastic, friendly, and cheerful faces.  We greatly appreciated everyone's genuine and energetic support that deeply moved our hearts.   Your involvement is truly a blessing to our community. Without your support, we could not have made this event as successful.

 

May the Triple Gem Bless you!

 

With Mettha,

  

The Ediriwickremas
