Greetings all, the BSC President Shri Haribhaibriefed all about the organization and informed that the membership fee for 2021 remains unchanged. A meeting of the executive members was held in this regard. BSC charges $ 100 a year, and hosts 15 to 18 programs with dinners.
But this year, due to circumstances during the first 6 months there was a small interruption. There was a Covid test with dinner and distribution of Mohan Thal to everyone. It was decided to give 70 credits to everyone, and charge $ 30 only as fee, and do 12+ programs during the year.
If the situation improves, BSC will do two programs every month. Hopefully in the year 2021, everything will be fine.
