2023 MJK Participation Form - Due 12/18
 
MJK has been confirmed on 3/25/2023 at Roosevelt High School.
 
Forms due 12/18.  Click Here! Only one form is required per performance group.
 
What is MJK?  Mahavir Janma Kalyanak (MJK) is JSMW's annual celebration of Lord Mahavir's birth.  Traditionally, most Pathshala classes prepare a stage show item which may include a dance or skit.  In addition to the stage show program, JSMW sponsors a swamivatsalya meal for all members to enjoy. 
 
When is it? 2023 MJK is on April 4th but most counties are on Spring Break during that time.  Therefore, JSMW is tentatively planning to have MJK celebration at the end of March which is nearly a month before when it has been in past years.
 
MJK is open to all JSMW members and we encourage members to create groups (minimum 4 people) with their family and friends and participate in this joyous event.....sing a song, do a dance, anything to show your festive spirit. 
 
Please complete your participation form by Dec 18th by clicking here. Only one form is required per performance group.

Presidential Volunteer Service Award
Deadline For 2022 Hours
January 20, 2023
 

Volunteers are worth their weight in gold. They share their time and talents without any compensation, so it's crucial to acknowledge their contributions and let them know they are valued. They are critical to the success of our Sangh, so we want to make sure that we take the time to thank them for their contributions and continued commitment to our Sangh!

 

All JSMW members including current elected or appointed officials can apply.

 

Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington (JSMW) is a certifying organization and has been granted the authority to administer President’s Voluntary Service Awards to our volunteers.

 

The President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) recognizes, celebrates and holds up as role models Americans making a positive impact as engaged and deeply committed volunteers.

 

The Award enables community organizations – like JSMW – to amplify their gratitude by joining with the President of the United States to thank their most dedicated volunteers. 

 

Various award categories include the official PVSA pin, medallion, or coin; a personalized certificate of achievement; a congratulatory letter from the President of the United States; or a combination of all the above.

 

Please use this link - President Volunteer Service Awards to submit your hours. We will ensure that your hours are entered in the PVSA system.

 

You can visit https://www. presidentialserviceawards.gov/  for more details about this system or to get information on various milestones.

Help JSMW - You shop, Amazon gives!
 
We are in the process of building a brand new temple over the next few years. We will need all the funding we can get to support the construction costs and make this project a grand success.
 
If you like to shop on Amazon, JSMW has registered with AmazonSmile where 0.5% of your shopping expenses get donated to the JSMW temple fund! This is a great way to support the new temple effort. 
 
Every little bit will make a big difference as we progress towards temple construction. Thank you for the support!!
