Our heartiest congratulations to Rtn. Neena Singh who has been honoured with a commendation from the Chandigarh Administration for her work with the children in the slums, and her contribution in motivating them to study and change their lives.

Rotary Friendship Day

Every year we showcase Rotary to some of our friends and business asssociates, who, we think, are also the prospective Rotarians.
This Monday, we shall have a very special programme. Every member is requested to bring at least one friend/acquaintance along with his/her spouse to the Rotary meeting.
This is going to be a very special evening. Babbi Harbhajan Singh is bringing some choicest traditional cuisines from her home to celebrate the advent of 'Saawan'.
Please come with your spouse.

Make Rotary "Bigger, Better, Bolder"

As the 2010 RI Convention in Montréal, Québec, Canada, drew to a close on 23 June, RI President-elect Ray Klinginsmith outlined his plans for his term, which begins 1 July.



Klinginsmith asked Rotarians to apply "cowboy logic" and make Rotary clubs "bigger, better, and bolder."

The fundamental principles of cowboy logic are taking pride in your work, talking less and saying more, doing what has to be done, and remembering that some things just aren’t for sale, he explained during the closing plenary session.

"I believe the way for Rotary to remain viable and vibrant in the next century is to help our clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder," Klinginsmith said. "The clubs are the life and breath of Rotary. Therefore, it is clear to me that my job is to help the district governors to help the clubs. We can do it, and we will do it, if all of us follow the simple solution of cowboy logic."
