Dear friends and Devotees,

As rightly said by Sri Chellappa, I have to extend my profound thanks to all the donors who have helped us in our Endeavour to serve the devotees. First of all I want to thank all those donors who have donated in fives, tens and twenties during sixties, seventies and eighties when the sabha was in its infant stage. These amounts were substantial in those years and it helped the sabha to a very great extent.

Coming to regular donors my heartiest thanks go to the staff of the Hindu who have been denoting from 1976 to till date. Starting from Rs.105/- in 1976 to Rs.10221/- in 2009, the staff has been contributing year after year without any break and with increments each and every year.

From the year 1985, the donor strength was growing steadily and I want to thank the following donors who have been regularly and substantially contributing year after year.

Ethigiri Padmanabhan, Sengamalam Ammal and K C Krishnaswamy

And from the year 1998, the magnitude of donation was really substantial and I extend my profound thanks to the following donors whose continuous patronage really helped us meet the expenditure despite abnormal increases in the input cost. Their contribution also helped us undertake major reroofing work in the vasantha mandapam kitchen and now in this year constructing a sump to tide over the water problem :

Srinivasa Raghavan, Srinathvijay and Mukund, P B Vijayaraghavan, K C Narasimhan P A C Pattabiraman and Ganesh & Prakash

I also want to thank the following donors whose contribution was very much helpful when we did the reroofing work last year

I would also like to thank one time donors of Rs.25000/- each by Sri and Srimathi Mohan Radha and Sunitha Radha in 2007 and M/s Screenplay Entertainment Pvt Ltd in 2008.

Let me also thank Sri N C Kannan (USA) for arranging municipal water connection to Vasanthamandapam at the appropriate time when our well was drying out.

Last but not the least I want to thank Our cooking Staff, particularly late Ramanujam and late Jagannathan and Sri Kririshnamurthi. After the demise of Ramanujam, Jagannathan and Krishnamoorthy were serving for the sabha until late nineties with lot of involvement and dedication. Though their remuneration from the sabha was not matching the market standards they still continued to work for the sabha very sincerely. Next I want to thank our Servants who do all sorts of cleaning work with a lot of patience and of course with immense obedience. My sincere thanks also goes to all regular vendors of Provisions, Vegetables, Milk and Gas Cylinders.
