The new joint U.S. and Canada Oshwal Members Directory was printed in November, 2006 to coincide with the Annual Thanksgiving Gathering of Oshwals in the North East region of the USA.

On behalf of Halari Visha Oshwal of North America, I extend my sincere thanks to Satish and Surya Shah of Plano, Texas for taking on one of the very important task of maintaining the database for the directory for USA. I congratulate them on the publication of the third edition of the joint USA Canada Halari Visa Oshwal directory.  I also thank all the sponsors for their contributions.  Without their support, it would not have been possible to publish the directory.

On behalf of the Executive Committee of Halari Visa Oshwals of America, I wish to thank Satish and  Surya Shah, and Mahendra Shah and  Ramnik Shah of Oakville, Ontario, Canada who took on the  task of updating the joint USA and Canada Halari Visa Oshwal Directory. This is the third edition of  the directory published for the benefit of the Oshwal members and the worldwide Oshwal community.   By having this directory, it will make it easier for Oshwal members to communicate with fellow Oshwals  and to develop closer contacts with each other.

We try to keep addresses of all members up to date in our database so that when we are ready to publish the next edition of the Directory in 2004, we will not have to contact members to confirm their addresses.

The Oshwal Directory that lists Oshwals residing in the USA and Canada was published in June 2000. At that time we had listed 209 families in the USA and 107 families in Canada. Our continuously updated database lists 234 families in the USA. We plan to publish a new directory by June 2004. In the mean time, we are providing below a short listing of new members and changes in address and telephone number of existing members. We will provide a copy of the directory to all new members free.

The purpose of this Directory is to not only continue our Oshwal heritage but to provide opportunities for members to network, to socialize and to provide a convenient resource to identify other Oshwals for sharing our values. Read the rest of this entry »
