We would like to thank all that attended Sedonta this year at Watt Thammarangsey.  We hope you had a wonderful time for those who came either Saturday, Sunday, or both days.  We would like to thank Monk Vithu Tuon for administering the Sedonta ceremonies and the Khmer Krom committee for all festivities.  Special thanks to those who brought food, refreshments, and other materials for a worry-free, smooth ceremony.  This year we hope that every Khmer Krom member can help build a stronger foundation for our temple by donating or contributing services to better provide for our Khmer Krom community.  Your help would gladly be appreciated in the betterment, prosperity, and the longevity of our temple to fortify the unity of the Khmer Krom.  We hope to see you again this year and hope that you’ve enjoyed Sedonta 2009.
