On August 2nd, HSS Volunteers from Naperville-Aurora shakha visited and tied the Rakhi to Hon. Mayor of the City of Naperville and his staff. The Mayor of Naperville said in his official comment: "I am pleased to
see HSS taking steps in creating an awareness about India's great
traditions, Rakhi's event is a very important one and has a great
significance especially during the troubled times, I truly believe that
such events bring about a change in the society and help create a
peaceful society. Raksha Bandhan creates the sense of universal oneness
and can help build a cohesive society of tolerance and peace. I thank
HSS in taking lead in that direction. Thanks for arranging this
function. I look forward to participating and supporting such noble
events." ... Similar events were undertaken by HSS volunteers at Fire Stations and Police Stations. Photo Gallery
