New Landmark in fight against poverty this year for India

India to be certified polio free in January this year.

This would be a landmark year in the history of India's fight against polio, and the history of Rotary's crusade to banish polio from this world.

Officially it would be 13th January when India would complete three polio-free years.  While the Rotary is all geared up to commemorate this event throughout the country, our Club has also ambitious plans.  We would expect every Rotarian to be a part of it and join in large number.

13th January being Monday is also the time when our District Governor Rtn Rakesh Aggarwal and the first lady would be with us on his Official Visit.

Deputy High Commissioner joins Rotarians for Christmas celebrations

British Deputy High Commissioner in Chandigarh David Lelliott and his wife Lizeth celebrated Christmas with nearly 70 children from Bapu Dham Colony and Dhanas, at Rotary House here today. 

Lelliott with her two children reached the Rotary House at 11am sharp and thoroughly enjoyed, distributed goodies and Christmas cake, and danced with them to the beat of dhol.

Our Santa Claus, Pres. Hassan S. Mejie, was in full joy and mood to make this Xmas a very special day for over 70 children from Rotary Balwari in Dhanas and Bal Bahar School in Bapu Dham Colony Sector 26.

He had organised Kachi Ghorri folk dancers and puppeteers from Jaipur to regale the little kids, and for many a Rotarians and their families it was a great experience and exciting moment to recall her childhood days when she had last seen the puppet show.

To complete the fun every child had a camel ride, while the melodious choir from choir from Chandigarh Bible Fellowship sang the carols on the occasion.











David Lelliott joined the fun and eagerly distributed refreshment to little children, and later both, David and Lizeth handed over Xmas gifts to children.



Thanks to all Rotarians and Rotaractors who made the Xmas celebrations a great success.
