Gujarati Samaj of St. Louis came into existence in 1984 with the efforts of some community leaders to preserve, protect and personify our eastern values, to make our children participate in celebrating our festivals, and to provide platform to all Gujaraties to come together to meet, greet, entertain and celebrate our heritage.
Gujarati Samaj arranges programs to commemorate important Gujarati Festivals and Events, and invites dignitaries and artists from Gujarat and India to perform for the benefit of the members. Many leaders of the Samaj have contributed their time to put the wheels of Samaj to the road of progress. Here is a list of our Presidents whose vision and efforts have helped Samaj to grow and perform well in the interest of its membership.
