Hello Karthik and Prasanthi Madam Garu [:)]:
At this point of time, no two members of our US team are in
same place...
Divya-Seattle
Chandra-San Jose
Jakka-Chicago
Suresh-NJ....
I know there are two more members Srinivas and Kiran but don't
remember places...
Right now all that I can think of is finding out some local
groups which are involved with local acitvities...
For example:Chinmya Mission, SJC volunteers once a month to
prepare breakfast for a homeless shelter here in San Jose and I am
part of that....
Probably sometime in future if we can get few more members in same
place we can think of something like that..and meanwhile we will
have to explore whether there are nay activities we cna take up
virtually...
Thanks,
Chandra.
