2007-2008 ZAGNY Religious Class Schedule

Hello All,

Hope you all had a great summer. Believe it or not it is “back to ZAGNY Class-&-lunch ” already, so welcome to a new ZAGNY Religious class year.

Looking back at 2006-07 we had an exciting year with more members coming in every month and staying back for lunch. With the enthusiasm of all the members for the first time we had a Chat party last year, which proved to be a great success. Many members have expressed their desire to have another one this year, and probably some other theme dinners … like Indo Chinese/ South Indian, or any other food let me know (guys keep in mind we have limited income). I will let you know in advance which month will be scheduled for theme lunches.  

To start with the Lunch money remains the same i.e. $3.50 (and $5.00 for walk ins).
Please note, in the past we charged the additional  .50 cents to cover the cost of the teachers and other miscellaneous expenses like dessert, pickles, salad, yogurt or any other additional item. Since we have a surplus of $464.00… and some change, we have decided to use this money towards the miscellaneous expense that will incur during the next school year and keep the current ZAGNY lunch charges the same.

Today this little boy with the blessings of all his well wishers, is making slow but steady progress towards some semblance of a normal life. Continue Reading
