It was a touching gesture for the members of CATS (Chandigarh Adventures, Tours and Sports), who came forward to donate blood for the free cardiac surgery of children operated at Fortis under the Rotary Heartline project of Rotary Club of Chandigarh.
On a call given by the 'Head' CAT, Ms Supreet Dhiman, the sister of our Club Secretary A.P.Singh, to all the CATS, that on 18th January, that many of them responded enthusiastically. Not to be left behind were several doctors and medical staff of Fortis Hospital, who were full of verve and vitality to be a part of the effort.
Most commendable had been the role played by Dr. Neerja of Fortis Hospital in motivating the Fortis staffers. Our hats off to Babbi Harbhajan Singh who stood by Supreet the whole day.
To encourage the CATS members were President Arvind Mehan, Secy A.P.Singh, IPP Man Mohan Singh, PP kewal Seth, Rtn D.V. Bhatia and PP Charanjit Singh, and of course, Dr. Ashok from Fortis.
On 18th, 25 units of blood was collected and the next day again more CATS tropped in taking the toll to 34...and many more have committed to join the noble cause.
Our thanks to everyone for pitching in the truly sportsman spirit to partake in this noble 'adventure' too.

A spiritual evening
This Monday, the 14th January shall be a special recital of sufi poetry from Gurbani by the famous Prof Dr. Jagir Singh. It would be a 45 minutes of sheer 'anand', a spiritual connection, an invocation to the Lord and the Almighty, that would help us stop for a while and rediscover our inner being.
The meeting has been organised jointly with the Inner Wheel Club of Chandigarh, who have also arranged a sumptuous 'Langar' prepared with deep affection, love and care, for everyone to partake.
All Rotarians are requested to join in with their family members, and friends.
