Parsippany's Hindu Service Society Celebrates Women At Local Event

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Parsippany Chapter of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (Hindu Service Society—HSS) celebrated International Women's Day with an event on March 19.

The event, which took place at the Viraj Dham Temple in Parsippany and featured Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce as the keynote speaker, aimed to honor women's contributions while also raising awareness about gender equality.

DeCroce talked about how important it is to empower women and encourage them to take on leadership roles in their communities.

During her speech, DeCroce shared her personal journey in public life, beginning in her early twenties as a councilwoman in Minehill and progressing to various roles on numerous committees in multiple townships throughout the state of New Jersey.

"She reminded us to celebrate the many achievements of women despite the many challenges they continue to face in society and the need for all of us to work together to create a more equitable and inclusive world," officials from HSS Parsippany said. "She really set a high bar for all the attendees, having jumped even higher in life with her personal achievements."

HSS is a 501(c)(3) voluntary non-profit cultural organization with over 250 chapters across the United States. HSS organizes service activities and community outreach projects to promote discipline, self-confidence, teamwork and the spirit of selflessness.
