Tapascharya-boli ballot for Sapana Day

Tapascharya-boli ballot for Sapana Day

As noted earlier, to expedite the Sapana Day program, the following ballot can be used if you wish to bid for tapascharya. The form can be used by adult as well as youth members. Please make additional copies as needed. Please return completed forms to Hemal Sanghvi or Ketan Shah by Sunday, Aug 31, 2008

All bids will be honored as this is not a competitive bidding. The highest tapascharya bidder of each Sapana will have the privilege of putting the garland on the Sapana. Other bidders will also be recognized at the program.
Tapascharya should be completed from Sapana Day 2008 to Sapana Day 2009.
Consider what you can do in one year and bid accordingly in as many categories as you wish and for which you are eligible.
If your children wish to bid, please assist them in making the correct choices.
