FINANCIAL UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2022
Dear Devotees, Friends and Well-Wishers,
As you may know, our New Parsippany Temple (www.iskconparsippany.org) construction project is moving along at a very fast pace and over 80% of the structure of the building is now complete. It is an inevitable success story in the making and we would like to invite you all to be a part of this success with your continued support.

Thank you all so much for all your help during our recent Sri Krishna Janmastami festival.

Because of your selfless and diligent service we had one of the best Janmastami festivals in ISKCON Towaco.   More than 2500 people got an opportunity to take darshan of our most merciful Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and participate in the festival celebration. This was the first time when we filled every parking spot ( roughly around 475) as early as 8 pm. This gives us an idea about how we should be prepared for our next Janmastami festival in Parsippany. 

From the financial perspective, our sincere gratitude to everyone who came forward with a generous support towards ISKCON Parsippany Temple project. With Sri Sri Gaura Nitai's mercy we were able to raise $508,000 during this year's Janamastami time ( Benefit dinner + festival). This is a great help especially during the critical phase of this project when work related to several key trades is about to begin. At this point we are just $692K from completing Phase-1 part of the project and move our beloved deities to Parsippany. We would like to raise this remaining funds in the next couple of months. Let us work together during this last stretch. 

We will be hosting our next benefit dinner on Saturday, September 10th Several devotees are actively working on this event. This is an excellent opportunity to share about the Parsippany project to new members. Our humble request to all of you to invite your friends, colleagues, and extended family members to this benefit dinner and introduce them to Parsippany Project and Srila Prabhupad's movement. Please let us know if you need any help in inviting non-congregation members. 

Summary:
Funds Required to complete Phase -1: $1.2 Million
Funds raised during Janmastami: $508K
Funds Remaining to be raised : $692K

Thank you so much for all your support during this great journey. 

Haribol, 
🙏🙏🙏
