March is almost here and that means KV Holi is here too.
Usually we celebrate Holi in Sunnyvale temple. This time 3 organizations (GCA, SEF, Sunnyvale temple) have Holi on Same Day (Sat Mar 19 at 11am). Last time there was a request to celebrate Holi in Fremont temple since they usually celebrate it on a Sunday (Not sure when it is in Fremont temple this year). There was also a request to have our own Holi celebration in a park.
The actual Holi is Sun, Mar 20.
Should we have our own Holi on that weekend in park? Or should we join one of the other organizations celebrating Holi.
Please discuss. If we do decide to join another organization, SEF at Baylands Park would be an interesting option since it runs for longer (11-4) and its at a different venue than the usual Sunnyvale temple.
SEF sounds good.
1. lots of space to move around
2. for a good cause
3. we can do a potluck lunch
Sounds fun! Would love to join. potluck is a good idea 🙂
GCA/SEF – basically some place new then Sunnyvale temple & hosted by some other organization.
We are in for SEF or GCA.
SEF /GCA both fine
Prefer GCA since many of us already have annual membership
GCA has not provided any details about their event yet. (music?, colors?, food? ) So lets wait and watch about what they have in mind.
Based on address and google street view, the GCA address looks like a parking lot of a company also.
SEF is in Baylands Park. Kids can hopefully play on play-structure also. And SEF will provide flexibility to those kids who have classes on Sat since the event runs from 11 – 4.
For those who have been missing water and colors –
Rain Dance and Colors 🙂

Wherever we are I hope it rains a little bit also. Will automatically provide a water Holi. 🙂
We will be able to join at 1pm due to kids classes
Rana also has Holi celebration on Mar 19th @ Baylands Park.

And there is another one in cupertino, near Library by
http://janyaa.org/holi on Mar 13th.
Inclination is towards SEF due to being in park and longer duration (good for kids with classes). Will be a change than playing in a parking lot.
Since RANA holi is also in same location, we would have a good sized holi crowd.
We can wait for GCA for 1-2 more days. but by wednesday if they dont put anything up we should go ahead and confirm SEF as the venue for KV Holi and then everyone can buy their tickets as well.
how abt RANA ? Many of my JCNC friends have had a good time at RANA plus the option of Jain food too.
Lets finalize on SEF. And go ahead and buy tickets individually. The money goes for a good cause.
What time are we planning to meet?
better to go early so that you dont get stuck in queues. And being early means you can attack incoming people also. :-).
We will try to be there by 10.45 am. And we will be there till we color the last of the KV people. :-).
