Editor’s Report

As we enter the deep into summer (if one can call it that!) it gets busier with different events beingorganised and some which were already celebrated. Of course the opening of Dhamecha LohanaCentre (DLC) was the highlight.

The various updates on the Building (I have now removed the word ‘project’ as inauguration hastaken place), announcements and celebrations, articles appear in this bulletin.

I have received great help from all the Executive Committee members but particularly fromSandhyaben Gandecha and Ashok Dattani. My Team included Vinod Thakrar, Jeet Rughani, YatinDawada and Dinesh Shonchhatra. Many thanks to all the sponsors and contributors to this bulletin.

Constitution Committee Chairperson’s Report

In June of this year I reported that the SGM had been adjourned and that it was to be reconvenedto have approved and finalised the constitution that was discussed and debated on 13 April 2014.Following this we had a short pre-SGM meeting where many of the prominent members of LCNLattended and gave their views and suggestions.

I am very grateful to all those people and their contributions but in particularly one of our ex-President and Constitution chairperson Jayantibhai Tanna (who not only produced a detailed andvery helpful set of amendments but also helped me without any hesitation with the document).In addition Balubhai Radia, Shantoobhai Ruparel, Jamandasbhai Raithatha, Kiritbhai Karia,Dhirubhai Pau and many others (and I apologise if I have missed any names) made very valuablecontributions.

My team consisted of Amratlal Radia, Janubhai Kotecha, Deepak Jatania, Manish Sangani DineshKotecha Vinod Thakrar and Mansukh Raichura.

I can now confirm to the Community that the final version of the Constitution is now ready andthat the SGM will be called as soon as we can fit in the relevant schedule.

Deenesh ThakerarConstitution Committee Chairperson 2013 -14 and 2014-15

It was a truly an exciting challenge to have produced the June issue as my first task for which we received a lot of positive response and acknowledgments.

On 29th June 2014 DLC was formally inaugurated by the most revered Jeje Shri Dwarkeshlalji Maharajshree togetherwith Dhamecha Parivar, followed by opening ceremonies for the Foyer by Parivar of the Late Shree Ratanshi MorarjiRadia, Ground floor by Parivar of Dr Rashiklal Chotalal Kantaria, first Floor by Gokal Parivar, Lower ground floor byParivar of late shree Vrajlal Gordhandas Pau, Kitchen area by Nagrecha Parivar and Car and the car park by the GokaniParivar.

Our Trustees Narendrabhai Thakrar and Rameshbhai Kantaria were present at this opening and in addition thephotographs of the elders of the Chatwani, Madhvani and Bhayani family were displayed in the foyer area as oursubstantial sponsors. Needless to say I am thankful to all the donors who made it possible for us to in this position.Not forgetting that all members from LCNL, Mahila YLS, RCT, LCF, LSC Men, LSC Ladies and volunteers joined handsto make it possible.

I have to specifically thank Deepakbhai Jatania, Pratibhaben Lakhani, Amratlalbhai Radia, Janubhai Kotecha,Manishbhai Sangani, Pradipbhai Dhamecha and Deeneshbhai Thakerar for taking the lead in masterminding theopening event in such a short period of time. We also have to thank Shashikantbhai Vakeria and the whole teamfrom Vascroft builders for working closely with us in completing the building works in good time. In terms of projectmanagement I convey our sincere thanks to Bhaveshbhai Radia, Vimalbhai Pau, Amratlalbhai Radia with PradipbhaiDhamecha who have done a wonderful job.

Amongst our objective witnesses we had the presence and blessings of CB Patel, Ramnikbhai Solanki and Zee TVour Media partners as also the Mayor of Harrow, his worshipful Ajay Maru with other dignitaries to grace our function.Our caterers Meera Catering have to be truly thanked as they flew back from Italy to oversee the catering for the twodays. The guidance from Councillor Rekhaben Shah and Navinbhai Shah has been very useful on this project. Wealso had help from sound engineers, security staff and numerous volunteers. This has to be without doubt, the mostexciting couple of days for each one of us for making this history for Lohana’s in the recent times.

DLC is now operational and we have already started to take bookings for Weddings, Parties, and Bhajans. Recentlymost of the large LCNL’s programmes have been held at DLC and will continue to do so. This will serve our communityin bringing our members closer. On the other matters I report as below

Young Lohana society is progressing well; they now have their own membership of 150 (aged 18-35) which iscommendable achievement in a short time. New committee members replacing the old have jelled very well. I ampositive that the current team will be strongly established by end of March 2015.The team work side by side with allthe operating committees which is very encouraging.

We intend to have an SGM for finalisation of our constitution at the earliest possible opportunity following aconsultative meeting with some of the Past Presidents and members interested in the constitution matters. Wecovered and discussed all the areas identified by the members.

President’s MessageI am extremely happy to report that the history was created on 28 and 29th June 2014 for all usat LCNL as the long awaited dream of having our building became a reality. On 28th June 2014we had havan ceremony at our new Dhamecha Lohana Centre (DLC) in South Harrow byNityanandji Maharaj.

Our Mahila committee is doing an exceptionally good job in serving the community, I have had some very good

positive feed back on their Mini Yatra and Shiv Pooja recently at RCT.I am thankful to the team for working closely

with all LCNL’s operating bodies . Our senior ladies Health program at RCT was very educational .I am sure our

members will benefit by attending all the events of this nature in near future.

I was asked to conduct the election of our senior men’s social centre on 16th July2014 .The three senior officers are

Chairman, Chandubhai Rughani, Secretary, Kantibhai Hindocha and Treasurer, Kantibhai Kakad .Members of this

Social Centre meet three times a week who thoroughly enjoy the service provided. The whole team must be

congratulated .I also want to congratulate Rajbhai Saujani for being elected RCT chairperson on 13th July 2014

We have taken on a challenge of creating an electronic members directory with a search facility. Our, IT team will be

in touch with the members very shortly by e-mail. Members will be required to update one’s own data. Your data

will be secured by password created by yourselves. IT members will have a help desk to assist members in submitting

their information. I am positive that this database will be very useful in communicating with he members.

Social team has been busy. Janak Dulhari Natak on 27th July was very creative and worth watching for all the age

groups. We must thank Madhuben and Kishorebhai Somani together with their Vaisnav Sang for sponsoring and

working with LCNL in celebrating Jiji Indira betiji’s 75th birthday with us at DLC. We are equally thankful to Ketanbhai

and Ditiben Kotecha for sponsoring our Janmashtami event for many years. We had a wonderful celebration on 17th

August 2014 at DLC; we have had some very good feed back from the members for our first Janmashtami at DLC

I want to thank all the members for their generous donations to date but the fundraising process has to continue.

we still need funds for current and future refurbishment and also for the equipment. I once again would humbly

urge you all to continue with your generosity and make our Lohana Centre even an even a better place.

Bereavement committee have started using our DLC for Samuh prathna in serving our community during the times

of the need and they do a worthwhile job for the community. We are now planning our next big event of Navratri

from 25th September 2014 to 3rd October 2014 which will be exiting as our DLC venue is at a close proximity to the

membership, hence, we expect more members to celebrate. Our business and Professional event is also at DLC on

16th September 2014.This programme is planned to be in a different format. I am positive that our members will

enjoy networking with fellow members.

Our Jalaram Jayanti event on 30th October will be at DLC which has been sponsored by the family of Late Shree

Dwarkadasbhai and Late Shrimati Nimuben Kotecha for many years. We will look at Chopda Poojan ceremony to be

held at DLC with meet & greet on 23/10/2014 and then we plan to have our first Diwali celebration at DLC in a grand

style on 15 November 2014.

I am thankful to all the Mahajan’s members for encouraging me and the executive committee and from my side, I

Intend to serve the community to best of my ability.

The constant meetings, planning attendances functions correspondence etc. is never ending but at the sametime very interesting challenging and exciting. The opening of the DLC on 28 and 29 June 2014 was thehighlight and the whole community received it very well. In July we thoroughly enjoyed the “Janak Dulari”dance drama depicted the life of Sitaji. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone and I believe the next showin November 2014 is at the Logan Hall in London.

I early August we attended the Shiv Rudraabhishek organised wonderfully by the Mahilas as they did thehaveli walk and other events. I was also privileged to attend the Senior Men’s lunch which our President VinodThakrar hosted as per traditional “parampara” Then of course not forgetting the Jiji event in July which wasagain thoroughly enjoyed by al all and well organised with the Somani family and under the leadership ofour capable Pratibhaben Lakhani.

The Building as you all know is now open and occupied but still needs to be completed in certain respectsand for that purpose the fund raising activities still continue and your support is necessary so that as DeepakJatania says in their report that it can be unencumbered. The YLS as usual are bringing in youthful energy notonly in meetings and events but also at the Executive Committee level where their attendance andparticipation is excellent. So I congratulate them on these achievements and wish them well for the future.

Our Social team headed by Vishal Sodha is doing very well and were instrumental in hosting the KrishnaJanmastmi programme in conjunction with Ketanbhai Ramniklal Kotecha and family to whom we are grateful.On that note the other Kotecha family that is always at the forefront is that of the late Dwarkadasbhai andNimuben and the family have carried on this legacy by sponsoring the Jalaram Jayanti celebrations on 30October 2014.

All the other bodies like Senior Men and ladies, sports, Media, membership, family guidance and RCT are doingvery well in their own right and they have provided us with their reports as appropriate and these are printedin this issue. Needless to say that we have had a further meeting for the discussion of the constitution andthat is just about to be finalised. Further details appear in my report as the constitution chairperson.

On the administrative side I can confirm that we are as usual dealing with all correspondence andcommunication and have also recently written to Shri Narendra Modi congratulating him in his capacity as aGujarati leader who has done so well and made us proud here in the UK.

I end this report by thanking all the sponsors advertisers and supporter in whatever way they have helped inthe progress of our communityJai Sri Krishna

On reflection I am very glad that I made a major input in the work for the previousSecretary Dinesh Kotecha as this made this year’s job for me a little better and lighter tohandle. There is so much that has happened in this short period and continues to happenthat I never have time to catch my breath.

The weekend of 28th and 29th June 2014 was a truly cherishing memory as part of our ties for

so many years with LCNL as DLC was opened.

During the years 2009-2010 when Pratibhaben was President the concept of having a building

with the blessings of our Vadil and the support of the whole Executive Committee was conceived

and this led to the reality that we all experienced.

Both of us were given the task of fulfilling the “Opening Ceremony” of the Centre and we were

delighted and honoured to have been given this responsibility to ensure that all goes according

to the expectations.

The Ceremony began with the welcoming of guests and donors on Saturday with Havan, Pooja,

and Bhajans etc. Sunday was the prime day of the Ceremony. Fortunately the weather was in

our favour which allowed us to carry out a procession in proper traditional and religious style with

"dhol" player and our singing and dancing.

First and foremost, we were privileged to have the presence of Shree Shasthpithadishwar

Goswami 108 Shree Dwarkeshlalji Maharajshree. The opening of the centre by Pujya JeJe,

created a truly divine atmosphere. The Pravachan that he gave was inspirational and his

blessings have undoubtedly secured the future of our progress and service to the community.

We congratulate the LCNL President for mobilising various fraternities of LCNL namely Mahilas,

YLS, RCT, Senior Ladies, Senior Men, LCF Trustees, and volunteers to assist us in various tasks.

Each and every volunteer, committee member fulfilled their tasks ranging from the car park,

kitchen, hall and decoration with smiles and enthusiasm in abundance. With this co-operation

and sincerity, there is no reason why the Community cannot move forward from strength to

strength.

We were really pleased that all the Mahilas participated enthusiastically and were actively

involved in "Sthapna and stage decoration", the "havan" ceremony, processions and welcoming

with appropriate singing & greet with a smile.

We would like to thank all our major Donors for their generous contributions towards the building.

Last but not the least, Pradeepbhai Dhamecha and Pariwar have been instrumental in all aspects

of this project. Our sincere thanks and gratitude for their unconditional generosity, co-operation,

support and always willing attitude. As Jeje Shree Dwarkeshlalji said LCNL means Love,

Compassion, Nobility and letting go. We remain indebted to all the Donors for their extraordinary

generosity and may they continue to support in the good causes.

Jai Shree Krishna & Best wishes
