Pacific NW Tour
Please join us if you are in the BC-area this week! We are holding our annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, "Which Candle to Light" with keynote speaker Harinder Singh. Your support is so vital to SikhRI in 2013, and this dinner is a wonderful way to come together as a community and enjoy dinner and discussion. You can watch Harinder Singh on OMNI TV discussing SikhRI's work in the community and the vital need for support of the organization's future plans.
There are also numerous interviews on TV and Radio that you can tune in for, a Sikh parenting dialogue, and Gurduara talks that we hope you will join us for.
Afterwards, SikhRI heads to the Seattle-area for a series of events, which we also invite you to come out for if you are interested.
