Director - Facilities This year, the BOT has taken up many projects, with the help of EC and BOT, to try Kritesh Mehta (586)-563-4829 and make our beloved Society and Temple better. As our membership and participants [email protected] have grown, we now have several young families and added elderly members joining our Society. In order to increase the service to them, the following projects have been initiated Board of Trustees Chair Person Kitchen Renovation: In order to serve additional society members, we needed to Kundan Sata (248)-745-0419 increase the number of stoves used for Eekshaana, Aayimbil Oli and other major events. For the renovation, we removed the dishwasher that remained unused for Vice Chairman several years and created space for additional storage and additional electric ovens. Pritish Shah (248)-686-4358 We also removed the old gas powered convection oven and put in two new stoves in Treasurer its place. We needed to comply with fire ordinances and our choices were to either Kirti Shah (519)-966-6643 (Windsor) increase the size of fire canopy (very expensive) to accommodate the two new stoves, or to remove the dishwasher and create a space for storage and for electric ovens. We Trustees also had a need to add a washer and dryer as all the towels needed to be reused and Chetani Koradia (248)-982-9821 we were finding it difficult to take the dirty towels to a members home, wash it and bring it back – especially when it was needed on a daily basis. This project is currently Jaya Shah (248)-681-5233 80% completed and we expect to complete the project soon. Jinansh Shah (248)-252-5958 Canopy Project: In order to increase the safety during bad weather, BOT and EC Ankil Shah decided to look into building a canopy which would provide protection from (734)-223-9592 inclement weather. This will make it easier for members to pick up and drop off senior members of our society. The project is in initial stages and due diligence is being done to ensure that the beauty of our Temple does not get diminished. More updates will be provided in the future.
