9th Assimilation Committee Mini-Fellowship
The 9th Assimilation Committee Mini-Fellowship Cocktails & Dinner was graciously hosted by Rtn. Mrs. Sheila Bulchandani at her splendid Malabar Hill home on the evening of 4th May 2017.
The setting was warm and wonderful. The evening started with the choicest cocktails and delicious hor’douvres, over sit down conversations as the invitees arrived being personally greeted by our wonderful “hostess with the mostest” as one of the Rotarians referred to her, and grew to a full house of members of all vintages with the presence of Sabira Merchant, the first lady member of our Club, to Swati Mayekar, our latest lady member inducted on Tuesday this week.
In attendance were Roda Billimoria and spouse Ratnakar Desai, Sabira Merchant, Ashok & Vatsala Jatia, Shernaz & Firoze Vakil, Ritu Prakash Desai & spouse Noshir, Zinia Lawyer, Chris & Sushmita Bluemell, Abhin & Vasudha Alimchandani along with Mahesh Khubchandani & Sherebanu Baldiwala of the Assimilation Committee, and a whole host of newer Rotarians – Rhea Bhumgara, Gautam Doshi, Anand & Purvi Shah, Murad & Niloufer Currawalla, Pulin & Amisha Shroff, Kasimali & Samira Merchant, all very well looked after by our most attentive host Sheila and her lovely daughter Sunaina.
The main course was preceded by cake cutting to applaud our host Sheila, followed by a round of self introductions by all the newer members, which was a very informative interaction.
The evening was concluded with a soulful classical vocal performance by our new Partner Purvi Shah followed by a formal vote of thanks proposed and delivered by our new Rotarian but otherwise Rotary stalwart Kasimali Merchant.
The Assimilation Committee offers its warmest thanks to Rotarian Mrs. Sheila Bulchandani for hosting such a fabulous and memorable mini-fellowship which all attendees thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
