| | Paryushan Ekasana, Swamivatsalya & Parna RSVP | | R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which means "please reply." The person sending the invitation would like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation. That is, will you be coming to the event or not? Etiquette rules followed in most Western cultures require that if you receive a formal, written invitation, you should reply promptly, perhaps that same day.
For the team that is planning for Ekasana, Swamivatsalya and Parna this is important from a practical point of view, because they need to know how many people to count on and how much food to prepare. With unreliable RSVP count, either we are short of food or have too much food and neither situation is desirable. JCSC Food/Ekasana committee urges all the community members to please RSVP in time, using the link below, so they can properly plan as tremendous time and effort goes in planning process. Your understanding and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Below is the link for RSVP for Ekashana, Swamivatsalya and Parna during Paryushan at the Jain Center.

| | The JCSC is proud to announce the setting up of a food delivery service to the different colleges in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas during the coming Paryushan. To best serve the students with Jain Paryushan food during these eight days, we would like your help and assistance wherever possible. If you are, or know of an active student in any of the colleges in these areas, please connect with us.
We need the following: 1) A total count of all Jain students who wish to receive food during Paryushan in various colleges, the more the students in a college the better for the program. 2) Drivers who are willing and able to pick up and deliver the food from the Jain Center to some of the colleges. 3) The food will be prepared at the temple, packed and sent out every day and we could use help for this process too. 4) Leads in every college who will take the responsibility of receiving the food in a central area (possibly in the respective college) and re-distributing to all the other students of that college who have signed up for the program. | | Wellness Challenge - Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night | | Sleep makes you feel better, but its importance goes way beyond just boosting your mood or banishing under-eye circles. Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and can benefit your heart, weight, mind, and more. In most cases, the health risks from sleep loss only become serious after years. That might not always be true, however. To learn more and participate, click here.

Tender Care Community Outreach Program (TCCOP) July 2016 Update
ACC (Anekant Community Center)
Our efforts of serving the community is continuing with your gracious support. We added few more projects this year and had very good support from the community.
We are continuing our routine of serving weekly breakfasts and monthly dinners, providing groceries, and visiting lonely patients. We have also started serving breakfast to Mental Health Association of Orange County once a month.
A container of medical supplies will be going to Zambia, Africa very soon. We have rare opportunity to help those in need that reside in this area by donating American clothing. We will include these donations with the already scheduled medical supply shipment. TCCOP will be collecting "gently used" American clothing at the Derasar on 21st August, Sunday from 10:00 AM - 12:00 noon.
If you choose to donate clothing ensure it has been cleaned and properly folded. Please do not leave any clothes at the front desk if a TCCOP team member or volunteer is not present.
Note: We ask that all donations are American clothing only please do not bring any Indian attire, purse or shoes. Do not bring on any other day or time.
