A special holiday message from the Trivedis...
12.23.2009
Manan and Surekha Trivedi
Growing up in the Reading area was great during the holidays. Memories from this time of year certainly helped to shape me and probably are a large part of the reason why service to my community has been such an important part of my life as an adult.
It of course started with my own family. I remember each year when my father would come home from work at the Red Cheek apple juice factory with a coupon they would give him for a free turkey. My mom and dad always believed in sharing with others, so as our tradition would have it, we would head down to the old IGA supermarket on Fleetwood-Blandon Road, pick up the turkey and then visit a family in the Reading area who needed it more than we did... and offer it as a gift to them for their Christmas dinner. We may not have had a lot when I was a kid, but my parents believed in sharing what we could. It was a powerful lesson that I learned.
I have tried my best to keep up with what my family and this community have taught me. And in the interest of being able to share a little something good with you this holiday season, Surekha and I have some good news:
We are excited to announce that we are expecting our first child.
Surekha is due in April, so the timing right before a May primary will make things fun, but I am confident that with friends and family like you, we're going to be successful with everything in the end.
So from our ever-expanding family to you and yours, we wish you nothing but the best during the holidays and we look forward to working with you on building a better future for our congressional district and our nation.
Sincerely,
Manan and Surekha
