Today history was made in Seattle when Dr. Sarbjit Singh Virk, president of the committee presented the congregation at the Sikh Temple ( Gurdwara Singh Sabha of Washington ) in Renton with a very convincing case to solve the current stalemate. He also made a heart felt appeal for a generous contribution towards the building fund. His case was so convincing and his appeal was so moving that even the two committee members who had not signed the papers so far, did agree and signed the pertinent papers to help solve the crisis. Then the members of the congregation made generous contributions and pledged to contribute even more. At the end of the day, in accordance with the Sikh traditions Dr. Virk made an appeal to the general Sikh masses for contributions. We have obtained a copy of Dr. Virk's appeal and posted it in its original form in the Punjabi-Manch section under News and Views.
