So we had to postpone (cancel) or West Coast Ski Trip

If this letter gets any response, I'll be freaking amazed....

Jai Jinendra,



Due to a few reasons, YJA has to postpone the West Coast ski trip. Logistically, we planned the event too late for it have to the maximum success. Our age range and theme were both very specific and for that reason it was hard to draw the interest of working professionals on a 3 day weekend.



Our plan is to bring together this segmented age group so that we can form stronger social bonds and tighten our Jain community for future events. California has one of the largest Jain populations, yet we cannot get strong support from the post-college/working professional age group. The geography is CA is one our greatest obstacles. We need leaders to emerge and awareness to be brought out to all Jains so that they are exposed and have an opportunity to participate in these types of events.



With that being said, YJA is planning on hosting 2 separate picnics for the post-college working professional crowd; one in NorCal and the other being here in SoCal. These 2 picnics will be organized and put together by the local community as well as YJA. If you are interested in helping with the coordination of these events please contact Shefali Shah (shefali.shah@yja.org) or Amit Jain (amit.jain@yja.org – 310-901-0709). Thank
