We are back again with our second year of Sruti Notes! Since SRUTI has been in hibernation for the past three winter months, this issue of Sruti Notes will be brief. However, during these months the Board of Directors has been very busy planning an exciting and eventful year of SRUTI programs. In this issue of Sruti Notes, we highlight SRUTI programs for the first half of the year. We have also included comments that we received from our readers in response to Sruti Ranjani 1998, in addition to our other usual features such as, upcoming events from other sister organizations in the Tristate area, community news and other news items that we think may be of interest to our readers. We look forward to hearing from our readers. Please send us your articles and news items that we can share with our membership.
