TEMPLE EXPANSION REPORT
December 10, 2006
Dear Friends,
We have issued the construction
contract for the Phase I of expansion to Excel Constructors. Soon
you will be seeing the start of the construction activity. We
have been delayed some what due to so many requirements that must
be satisfied prior to securing the building permit from the City
of Shawnee.
Phase I will cost about $1,325,000.00.
In this phase the entire building will be erected including all
outside walls and the roof. Parking lot, Side walks, landscaping,
storm water drains, sewage drains, and all utilities to building
will be finished. All underground plumbing will also be installed.
Phase I is expected to be completed by April 15, 2006.
All the inside work, that is,
walls, ceiling, lighting, heating and AC, etc., will be completed
in Phase II. During Phase II, connection between the existing
Temple building and the new expansion will be made and the Temple
lobby will be remodeled to replace the existing rest rooms with
Manager’s office and Navagraha.
We need to raise additional funds
prior to committing for Phase II. Fund raising committee, under
the leadership of Hasu Doshi is actively working to reach everyone
in our great community for their generous donations.
On behalf of all the members
of the Temple Expansion Committee, I would like to thank everyone
who has contributed to the building fund. All donors of $500 or
more to the building fund will be recognized on the plaques prominently
placed in the entrance lobby.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Mohan Gupta, Chairman
HTCC
Expansion/Building Committee
