Dil Se

Singer Javed Ali transferred the power of music from the stage into the soul in Rotary Club of Bombay’s major fund- raiser event Dil Se. The evening of October 26th, 2018, was memorable. A mixed bouquet of ghazals resounded through the NCPA, reaching out to many hearts in the theatre.

 

 

Race for Humanity

November 25th, 2018, was a milestone day for Rotary Districts 3141, Mumbai and 3142 with our own Rotary Club of Bombay in partnership with Rotary Club of Mumbai Nariman Point hosting the Race for Humanity (RFH) 2018. RFH was positioned in RCB President Vijay Jatia’s calendar as a fun-filled fellowship day of the Mumbai horse-racing season at the Royal Western India Turf Club with seven races sponsored by seven Rotary Clubs followed by RFH’s evening of
entertainment.

There were over 6,000 attendees with Rotarians, family members, friends, regular and avid racegoers and punters who
regaled in both racing and entertainment. The event was a grand success and a feather in the cap for Rotaries of both the Districts, Host and Sponsor Clubs.
