Cypress Villages Update, May 15, 2007

Dear All:
The Cypress Villages project continues to make progress each day. This last week, we participated in the community wide yagya for Peace and success in all walks of life. A photograph of our CV staff was sent to Maharishi along with a letter of appreciation for the opportunity to contribute to Raam Raj.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a Muhurt celebration for friends of mine who were moving into their new MSV home. It was a very blissful, powerful experience, and one which we can all look forward to recreating 208 times at Cypress Villages very quickly!

Hello Everyone!
The biggest news of the week is that we have begun work on Jefferson County approval as an unincorporated subdivision. Cypress Villages work is being professionally managed at all levels.

Clarification!! - Cypress Villages - December 24th Update

Clarification!!
In our most recent news update, we stated that the Maharishi Sthapathya Veda royalty and fee would be a total of 10%. The REASON we qualify for this fee is because the MSV Royalty and Fee are proportional to the Profits the builder charges on a home or commercial building. Our effective profits are less than 5%. The MSV Royalty = MSV Fee = Builder's profit, and we qualified for this interpretation.
