Gujarati Samaj Committee Members

Executive Committee - Promotions Committee - Funeral Committee - Constitution Committee - Youth Committee - Web Committee

Please feel free to contact any member of the committee.

With the Samaj trying to bring a wider selection of activities to the forefront, we also see it as our function to help promote local businesses to the community. Advertising opportunities are being developed to help businesses bring their services to the forefront within the community and attract services from mainstream providers to the group. All proceeds collected will be put towards the Samaj activities for the year - for example - subsidizing various celebrations, discounts to members at most events, newsletters and Diwali Ank publications and ongoing activities throughout the year.

Anyone interested in learning more about the promotional opportunities or joining in with these activities, can contact any executive committee members

The Funeral Committee was set up many years ago to assist families at the difficult time of losing a dear one. This sub-committee continues today as an invaluable service to the community. The kindness and compassion shown by this committee is an inspiration to us all.

This year's funeral committee is comprised of:

A new Constitution Committee has been set up to review and amend the current Constitution as required.

Any comments received after that date will not be considered. All proposed amendments will be presented to the members for ratification at the 2011 AGM.

It is a new year and there are many new things happening. We have a completely new committee and we are encouraging any new youth to participate in our community activities this year.

We are welcoming old and new members to join us for this activity and bring your friends! If you are between the ages of 12-30 and would like to become a member of the youth committee please feel free to contact us at youth@gujaratisamaj.ca

We have entered the 21st century and in keeping with the times, our Samaj has to keep pace with the technological revolution sweeping our daily lives. Our membership is evolving and now includes a greater proportion of individuals who use the computer for work and/or leisure.

One of the priorities of the new executive committee is to give a face-lift to the existing web site to make it more suitable to the present needs of the Samaj and also to provide ongoing information about the Samaj's current and future activities. This web site will be a reflection of the diversity, vibrancy and talents of our Samaj members. It will serve as a portal for Samaj members to share their knowledge, exchange useful information and create public awareness regarding issues that are affecting or will affect the Gujarati community in Montreal.

Please remember that this web site will be our chance to showcase our thoughts, talents and knowledge beyond our Gujarati community. If you have the expertise and knowledge regarding web site development, programming, or coding and can contribute your services for our Samaj, please send an email to webmaster@gujaratisamaj.ca
