President’s Message

Dear Friends,

My very warm greetings to each of you.

THERE ARE some distinctive and wonderful activities that our Rotary Club of Bombay has to its credit. In the very recent past, we have witnessed one such event – thanks to our very own Rtn. Ptn. Devi Narayan, our elders from the Ananda Yaan centres had the occasion to attend a Comedy Show by noted Comedian Raju Srivastav. This was the first event of ‘Anand Seva’, a unique concept, which gave us a meaningful opportunity to provide, in a small way, happiness to our elders. Thank you Rtn. Ptn. Devi and also Rtn. Madhu and Rtn. Ptn. Vandana for making this happen.

I would sincerely urge all to seize such unique opportunities of sharing happiness through the many options Anand Seva offers – sponsoring meals, picnics, lectures, fun and games, movie and drama shows, etc.

Thanks also to Rtn. Arin Master and Rtn. Ptn. Pervin Jehangir. Last week, free medical check-ups were provided to 64 children from Garden School who visited our IWA clinic.

Our weekly meeting was another afternoon spent well, listening to the ‘Walk the Talk’ Man – Shekhar Gupta – a renowned journalist and Padma Bhushan awardee. His views on ‘India Beyond 2019’ may set many of us thinking about our country’s future.

And, in this season of installations, our Rotaract Club of Hinduja College successfully conducted its Installation Ceremony “Junoon” on July 13th, 2019, at K.P.B Hinduja College of Commerce. I wish its Incoming President Rtr. Darshan Jain and his team all the best from all of us at RCB for a successful and eventful year ahead.

I am sure you all have already made your bookings for our fund-raiser ‘Sonu Nigam Live in Concert’ on August 27th at the Tata Theatre, NCPA. I would request and urge all of you to extend your support to the Committee by getting the much-needed sponsors, advertising, donations, as well as assisting in ticket sales too.
