APPEAL FOR HCO MEMBERSHIP

Our community has grown and we need HCO more than ever to provide a venue for Hindu worship and culture that offers something for every age-group. We are proud of the recently expanded HCO facilities that are enabling unprecedented opportunities for the growing community. However, please be aware that the HCO complex (temple and OSHCC) costs over $25,000 per month on average to operate! Therefore, it is becoming urgent to obtain HCO membership commitments from the entire community. In addition, the Board has started a new campaign for “Special Donors”, who pledge at least $600/year ($50/month) for HCO operating expenses. These special donors who pledge $50/month automatically become Trustees of HCO after 9 years of continued membership. We request that you complete the following pledge form, cut and mail to the temple with your check. You may also drop this in the Hundi, or contact one of the HCO Board Members. ------MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION HCO of Dayton, 2615 Temple Lane, Beavercreek, OH 45431.
