Business Meeting on 24th Nov

Next Monday is scheduled for Business Meeting.  Rotarians are requested to kindly come up with ideas that they would like the Club to take up. 
The major agenda item would be election of office bearers for 2009-10, the participation in the forthcoming District Conference on 14-15 February 2009 which our Club is hosting, and the bon voyage of Rtn. DGN Chetan Agarwal to be hosted by our Club.

It's 17 now!

The total number of surgeries has touched 17 now under our matching grant project, the Gift of Sight. Recently, 55 year old Mrs. Raj Rani, who had lost her vision in right eye due to long term diabetese, functional vision was restored under the expert hands of Dr. Vishali of AEC, PGI, Chandigarh, who also restored functional vision of another 21 year old Birbal, who had lost eye sight due to an injury at his work place. 

And all those who hold the doubts, as to "Why give to the Rotary Foundation?" have numerous reasons to look around, and ask the person who is able to once again see the sunshine, the colorful life around, and of course, his family and friends...and how it is making the difference to their lives?   Can you measure the value of this happiness?  What our Rotarians and those in Coral Gables gave and matched by The Rotary Foundation, is perhaps, miniscule compared to the value this Gift of Sight would mean to an individual...to every individual who would be able to see again!
