| The BSI

overseas budget has been cut by 40%. As a result the North West India
Auxillary (NWIA) has to raise 10 lakhs locally by October 31,
1999.
|
| Other Activities |
| Bible Sunday |
| is observed on the second Sunday in December each year. The churches remember the work of Bible Society on this day and take special offerings for it. Some churches invite the staff and workers of the auxillaries to come and share the ongoing work and challenges of the organization. |
| Fete |
| is an annual event in the calendar of some of the auxillaries. The main purpose of the Fete is to bring the churches together and also to raise funds for Bible Society. The North West India Auxilary will organize its 41st Annual Garden Fete in October this year and hopes to raise Rs 3 lakhs. Of course, this is no cake walk. Funds are raised mainly through the participation of the churches, the publication of a souvenir and hampers. |
