"ELDER'S DAY" being celebrated is something wonderful. It is something that should be continued and would recommend that it should be done elsewhere as well. It was great to be a part of such a day and honor to be amongst the organizers there. A word of thanks to all the priests who were there to Bless us with their prayers on this day.
