Subject: [Rajdhani Mandir Volunteers] Cricket update
Dear friends,
Thanks for responding to my earlier email and showing your strong interest in viewing Cricket World Cup Indian matches in your Mandir. Based on the information requested by most of you, please note the following:
Your Mandir will show only the following matches:
1. India V Australia (Saturday-February 15)
2. India V Namibia (Sunday-February 23)
3. India V England (Wednesday-February 26) D/N-Weekday
4. India V Pakistan (Saturday-March 1)
5. All Indian Super Sixes (three matches)
6. Semi-Final (if India is playing)
7. Final (who-ever is in the final)
This is a list of possible 9 Indian matches. If not all the nine,
India, most likely, will have 7 matches that Mandir will be showing
before the semi-final and the final. All of these matches will be on
a BIG SCREEN, like a theater. You may come and watch SA-WI match in the Mandir FREE this coming Sunday, 9th of February, around 6 in the morning. Watching cricket matches like this will be a different experience and full of fun which you may remember it for long.
After talking to many viewers, the Mandir has decided for the
following donation schedule for the use of Mandir facilities in the
form of 100% donations to the temple:
Parking: $25 for the whole tournament. This fee is for the car
regardless how many people come in the car. FYI, all cars must have a parking sticker displayed on the front windshield during the match hours if parked in the Mandir parking lot. It is just less than $1 a day if three or four people come and share the cost through car pool. Your parking sticker will have your Name & home address and a phone number. To collect your sticker, please do either one of the following:
a. Saturday: Please come to the Mandir, between 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. or
b. You may come anytime in the Mandir before Saturday and give your check ($25) for the parking to Pandit Tripathi Ji and I will reserve your parking sticker with an email confirmation to you. or
c. You may mail you check to me at "12758 Ashleigh Court, Fairfax, VA 22030" or
d. Sunday, in the Mandir, from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and watch a FREE cricket match between South Africa & West Indies (day/night match).
Other charges:
Viewing of all these matches are totally FREE for people who are
already in the Mandir's Automatic Bank Deduction program (limited to one FREE per form/family). This was my original idea of saying thanks to all, who are financially supporting the temple thru this bank deduction program. But, the mandir board decided that I should let every one know about these matches and have all come and sign for this program. Please note that each and every penny of this program is worth donating to the temple and you will feel proud of yourself that you are part of Mandir's monthly mortgage payment. Commit Only What You Think You Can Financially Afford Every Month!
Those who are not in this program and would like to sign now, are also welcome and can view these matches FREE. Again, 100% of your commitment goes to Mandir mortgage account and is fully tax deductible. If not happy for any reason, you may cancel it at anytime. To sign for this program, please bring a copy of your check/deposit slip when you come to pick up your parking sticker or at the time of coming for the first match. You can also download this form from the Mandir Web-site or ask me to email you the form.
To all other viewers, I am sorry, there will be a small use of
facility charges of $5 a day for matches in the month of February and $10 a day (each match) in March, including finals.
As you all are interested in viewing these matches, I suggest and
request to please make sure you have your parking sticker in advance from the Mandir.
Thanks again for all the help to your temple,
Prem, a mandir devotee
