A legend passes away

Our Club has become poorer today. One of the charter members of our Club and an affable father-figure, Past President Rtn. B.K. Mehan, passed away this morning.
We had breakfast together and later he enjoyed a cup of coffee sitting in the Sunday sun and went to bed thereafter when the attendant noticed that his head collapsed while in sleep. Arvind rushed him to the doctor, but unfortunately, he had already left for his Heavenly Abode.
We shall miss him. The Rotary world would miss him. He leaves behind the deep memories of his affection and friendship in everyone's heart. A great legacy of selfless service and contribution he made to the society through Rotary and Aurobindo Ashram. We feel poorer today in his absence. And we join the Mehan's family in their sorrow, and pray for peace of this noble departed soul.

Blood Donation

The most noblest of the act that anyone can do at any time... in fact every three months is to give blood.
On 25th and 26th, we saw two blood donation camps that Rtn Hassan Mejie conducted for the Club at Fatehgarh Saheb. The local administration was actively involved and the team of doctors from Rotary Blood Bank Society Blood Resource Centre, led by Col. Dr. R.S. Shah was there.
The Deputy Commissioner and other district functionaries were present on the first day. On the second day, Mr. Rajan Kashyap, Chairman of our Blood Resource Centre was the chief guest and even on the second day DC visited the place.
Our heartiest compliments to everyone who made these camps a success.
