This change applies only to the Stripe payment method and does not alter the fundamental nature of the VSNA annual membership. All membership benefits, entitlements, and structure remain unchanged. VSNA annual membership runs from January to December each calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This change is intended solely to simplify payment operations while maintaining the same VSNA membership model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subscription Cancellation Notice:<br>All existing Stripe subscription-based payments (Stripe \/ online payments) will be cancelled effective immediately. If you have already paid for the current membership year, your membership will remain valid until December 31 of that year. This change does not affect payments already made in cash or via Zelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For any questions or clarifications, please contact Swapnil Wale, or reach out to any member of the VSNA Dallas Chapter Executive Committee.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Namaskara VSNA Family, \ud83d\ude4f Shivratri is coming closer, and we are excited to come together as a community to celebrate this auspicious day with devotion, prayers, and togetherness. \ud83d\uddd3 Date: February 21st\u23f0 Time: 10:00 AM \u2013 2:00 PM\ud83d\udccd: 2699 W Plano Pkwy, Plano, TX 75075 (Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple of DFW &#8211; Basement Hall) &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vsna-tx.org\/2020\/shivaratri-celebration-2026\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Shivaratri Celebration 2026<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
