ACTIVITIES

The Lohana Committee takes great pride in operating a successful association for its members throughout the year. We are dedicated to support you and welcome new ideas and activities so please contact us with your views and feedback.

KIDS
One of our most popular events is Holi where the Lohana Kids and families have a great time.

YOUTH
Our toughest job is to keep the youth happy. Most of the youth seem to be very busy as a majority of the Lohana youth are in High School or University. We welcome youth participation and hope that they will continue the Lohana traditions by stepping in and taking over the organization in due time.  Lohana Youth in High School are encouraged to gain their volunteer hours through community support with the association.  Please speak to one of the Board Elects for more information.

EXPERIENCED ELDERS / 65 AND BETTER
The elders in our community bring with them experience, tradition and culture. These respected 65 and better can teach us things that otherwise can’t be learned from books, including the value of family, the importance of community support and stories from our roots.

MUSIC / DANCE / CULTURE
Living outside of India we tend to value and hold on to our culture more than people living in India. The Lohana Community promotes musical, dance and cultural traditions. Many of our youth participate in cultural activities in school. We also promote dance and musical events at our functions so that there is a platform for our youth to perform in.

PRAYER / BHAJANS
A family that prays together stays together. Many of our social events always begin with a prayer. Several of our current events are prayer oriented like Jalaram Jayanti and Hanuman Jayanti. These are done so that we can cater to the growing elderly base in our community and also to keep our youngster engaged in our roots. We are not a religious organization, but welcome the learning of our culture and heritage as Lohanas.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
We are all about community service and we can still do a lot more. The committee sponsors various Donation Drives throughout the year, including our much loved Summer Camp for the youth and kids. More ideas and participation is welcome.

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT
We have an outstanding support team who has dedicated their personal time in helping those who have lost a loved family member or friend.  This team of volunteers is seeking to educate others who want to be equally devoted in helping and supporting in these roles.  It is a topic that we should all be aware of, as it impacts us at some point in our lives.  Please contact a member of the Bereavement committee for further information.
 

ALL IN ALL
As a Lohana, we want you to participate in our events, network and make friends, learn and teach, support and encourage, always in a positive and enhancing manner. Most of all, have fun and grow as a person, a learner, a teacher, as a Lohana. Unite with us, as "Unity is Strength"!
