• After heavy deliberation across all the three committees and with the input from the local officials, we are very delighted to let you know that we have schedule a Havan and an Open House, on Saturday June 13th, at the GSSTL CENTER. We are looking forward to beginning this new chapter, for our Samaj, in your company and to show casing you the GSSTL CENTER.
   
  We thank you for your continued patience and prayers for the community. Your relentless support to the Gujarati Samaj of St Louis is greatly appreciated. Over and over, you demonstrate that we truly are UNITED TOGETHER as we navigate the difficult decisions during these trying times.  
   
  Please read this communication in its entirety as it contains particularly important information on this event: 1. Safety Guidelines 2. Havan 3. Open House 4. Membership Dues 5. Food Drive.
   
  First and foremost, let us provide you with detailed information on how this event will be planned and executed, to ensure safety for all attendees.
   
  As states and cities begin to lift lockdown restrictions on stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures, the Gujarati Samaj of St Louis are ready for a responsible restart. We feel comfortable and confident that we’re at a place where we can begin opening our new facility, while we continue to weigh in official guidelines for the safety of all. 
   
  Our number one priority is the safety of our members and that we are taking all necessary steps beyond what may be required. 

  1. If you plan to attend the Havan or the Open House, please fill out the simple symptom screening questionnaire and bring a printout to the event. 
  2. Please arrive 30 minutes before the start of the Havan or Open House. This additional time is REQUIRED to ensure your safety.
  3. Temperature checks will be conducted at the entrance of the facility.
  4. You will be required to wear a mask during the entire time you are at the event. Please bring your masks with you.
  5. You will be required to maintain a safe distance of 6 feet from other attendees, during the entire event.
  6. Hand sanitizers will be available at the facility.

  If you have traveled outside the area within the last 14 days, or have been around someone who has, we strongly recommend for you not to attend the event for the safety and concerns of others.  We also strongly recommend children and anyone with an underlying health issue not to attend the event.   
  
  For the foreseeable future, these safety guidelines will be used at our other events at the GSSTL CENTER, so therefore it is especially important that we work together to adhere to the above guidelines. 
  
  Secondly, here are the details on the Havan:

  1. In accordance with the local government guidelines and with a safety-first mindset, we are limiting participation to the Havan to 200 members, on a first come first serve basis. If you are a member and would like to participate in the Havan, please send an email to: smitaparikh2000@yahoo.com and prasandpatel@gmail.com.
  2. The first 200 members (2019 paid membership) to respond will receive a confirmation from Smitaben / Prasand to participate in the Havan.
  3. We are also looking for a few sponsors for the Havan at $2500 and $1000 levels. Please reach out to Smitaben (314-306-3800) / Prasand (314-495-8686) for additional details and for becoming a sponsor.
  4. Havan will be on Saturday, June 13th, from 11 am for approx. 1 hour.
  5. Venue: GSSTL CENTER, 210 Fee Fee Hills Dr, Hazelwood, MO 63042.
  6. Prasad (prepacked) will be distributed to all participants.

   
  Thirdly, the Open House:

  1. Open House will be on Saturday, June 13th, from 1 pm to 5 pm.
  2. Venue: GSSTL CENTER, 210 Fee Fee Hills Dr, Hazelwood, MO 63042.
  3. Anyone (members or non-members) can participate in the Open House with up to 200 guests allowed into the hall at any point of time. Please respect the volunteers as they ensure social distance between guests for everyone’s safety.

  If We All Work Together, We Can Deliver A Bag Full of Hope.
  
  On June 13th, Gujarati Samaj will be collecting canned goods and dry goods at our GSSTL CENTER, to donate to Team Food Pantry in Hazelwood. 
  
  Our food drive will help hungry families in our community.  If EACH one of us brings 2 cans, we can make a big impact in the community of our new home.  You can drop off your donations when you arrive at the GSSTL CENTER in the marked containers.
