Ring in the New!

Congratulations to every Rotarian as the new Rotary year dawns today.
It is a matter of great pride for Indians to have an Indian leading the Rotary world, Rtn. Kalyan Banerjee.
As we move ahead with ambitious plans and visions to make a difference in the lives of the people around us, the mantra that Rotary International President Kalyan Banerjee has given to the world is, "Reach Within to Embrace Humanity".
Thanks to the excellent leadership of Rtn. Neena Singh, who has launched an ambitious "Swachh Jiwan Abhiyaan" in Colony No.5.  Rotarians, Rotaractors and Inner Wheel members of our Club got together in large number and participated in the rally which was flagged off by young Municipal Commissioner of Chandigarh, Ms Prerna Puri, IAS.

The next batch of 25 girls from the colony for female adult literacy programme joined the "Roshni" school being run by our Club at RCC.  A set of books, notebooks and stationery was distributed to these young and not-so-young women from the colony who wanted to be a part of the adult literacy.

Our Club is fortunate to have an iconic figure in Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo and his gracious wife Usha Saboo, and doubly privileged to have his constant guidance and support.  Fifty years ago they entered the portals of Rotary through our Club, in May 1961, and today, shine on the Rotary firmament like a bright star...of which we are proud of. 

Next meeting, the 16th of May 2011 is dedicated to this amazing couple who have touched the lives of people around the world in numerous ways.  To celebrate their 50 years of service to the humanity, the Club is having a special meeting followed by fellowship over hi-tea. 

You are requested to join with your families and have an open house with them in a face-to-face interactive session, wish them many more years of togetherness in Rotary service.
