*May-June 2013*

Dear Community Members, I would like to update you on the formation of 
the Board of Trustees. This consists of members from the community and a 
few members from the Board of Directors. The Board of Trustees met for 
the first time in April and elected Dr. Suresh Kotagal as President, Dr. 
Suresh Chari as Vice President and Pri Shah as Secretary. The Board of 
Trustees will oversee and guide the Board of Directors, as well as 
actively participate in plans for building the new Temple. Plans for 
fundraising and construction of the new Temple will have to be approved 
by both boards, which we hope will increase input of ideas and 
participation from community, as well as determine some essential hard 
stops. On another note, the plans for the new Temple are going through 
the routine processes for approval. We started with the "Concept Plan" - 
a basic sketch of our vision created by an architect. Our plan was then 
informally presented to the City of Rochester. The city suggested some 
changes to meet with city ordinances, the most important being that the 
building should be at least 40 feet from the road. In keeping with the 
suggestions from the General Body meeting, the plan is "Expandable" - to 
be built in 2-3 phases with a projected 43,000 sq. ft. of usable space 
and a 100 car parking lot when complete. Tom Barbeau has been approved 
as the architect by both boards and will be authorized to develop a 
schematic design. I will have more details in the next newsletter. As 
promised in the last newsletter, introductions to three of the Temple 
board members are included in this issue of Samarpan. I will continue to 
introduce a few members at a time in each forthcoming issue. Sincerely, 
Santhi Subramaniam.

Greetings to all our readers and community members!

This issue of /Samarpan/ will be our last one for the 2012-2013 year.  
Our next newsletter will be the September-October issue to mark the 
beginning of the 2013-2014 year.  We hope to cover Temple and Community 
related activities and events over the summer in that issue.  As our 
/Samarpan/ team takes a break for the summer, we hope that you have 
enjoyed reading articles submitted by the adults and children of our 
community over the past year.  We look forward to receiving articles for 
future issues of /Samarpan/ from you.  The articles must be original and 
should have references to any material borrowed from other sources.  
Also, we are hoping to include achievements and accomplishments of our 
community youth and adults in the newsletter, as well as interviews with 
members of our community.  Please send your contributions and feedback to

editors at histemplemn.org.

Have a glorious summer and safe travels!

Best Wishes from the /Samarpan/  Editorial Team.
