A Message from the Chino Hills Indian American Association

August 20 2003

Dear Neighbor:

I am writing to you as a long time resident of the City of Chino Hills, and also as a member of the Indian American community. Over the years, as our City has grown, so have the richness of our culture and the diversity of our population. Today, Chino Hills is the home to hundreds of Indian and Hindu Americans that live, work, operate businesses, and go to school here in Chino Hills.

That's why I am pleased to be a member of the Chino Hills Indian American Association (CHIAA), a local, non-profit organization that provides a focal point for community service activities for the Indian community. We work with numerous other organizations throughout the City to sponsor important public service events, like last fall's Blood Drive supported by the Chamber of Commerce that honored the victims of the September 11th national tragedy.

I am also pleased to be able to share with you important news about a new religious and cultural center being planned for Chino Hills. Located on the far side of the 71 Freeway, next to other commercial parcels, a new Hindu temple and cultural center will bring new life and architectural beauty to the area. And it will bring new cultural and educational opportunities to many of the residents of Chino Hills and the surrounding areas.

The attractive design of the new temple and cultural center complex will be accentuated by beautiful gardens, walkways, plazas and fountains. The new temple -- known as a Mandir -- will provide religious services open to all those wishing to participate. And the adjacent cultural center will provide gymnasiums, classrooms, computer labs, and meeting rooms for the education and cultural enrichment of attendees.

The cultural center will also include an exhibition hall for visitors presenting "A Borderless World" which will feature exhibits on the worldwide issues of peace and social harmony.

This website will provide you additional information about this exciting new complex to be built right here at the edge of Chino Hills. Please take a moment to study the site, and tell me that you support the development of this beautiful and important cultural center complex. Thank you for your consideration, and for your support.

Sincerely,

Jitendra Dave
Chino Hills Resident
