Dear friends,
There are some unique activities that the Rotary Club of Bombay has to its credit. One of them is the In Camera Committee. This is really an informative meeting with a speaker, combined with a dinner hosted at the residence of one of our generous Rotarians. So this could very aptly be described as “Infotainment” at its best.
Kudos to Rekha Tanna and Vrinda Rajgarhia who have been spearheading this interesting initiative. The fact that Rekha quietly told me that there was a long waiting list for the In Camera meeting that was held on the 20th July at her residence, speaks volumes for its popularity. In fact the care with which Rekha and Vrinda have been curating these “infotainment” sessions needs to be lauded. Interesting speakers, and great hosts combine to create memorable evenings.
Ananda Yaan, our Elder Day Care Centre has been launched at Byculla. This new initiative aims at providing a few hours of happiness to the elders in the community. I thank all those who witnessed the well-attended inaugural function and urge others to go and have a look at how this Centre works. For any details please contact Alok Sekhsaria and Christopher Bluemel.
As you all might be aware, we are planning a Fund Raiser for Bhavishya Yaan. Shankar Mahadevan will be live in concert at the Tata Theatre on August 23rd. I urge you all to support this effort in every way you can. You’ll can donate towards the earmarked funds of Bhavishya Yaan. Or take advertising space in the Souvenir that will be brought out. Or buy tickets for yourselves and your friends. You will appreciate this eight-year old initiative which has brought so much acclaim to our Club, which needs your support now.
And the Annual Day of Bhavishya Yaan is being held on the 4th August at the Colaba Municipal School at 4pm. Our star students who performed so well in their Board exams will be felicitated. Cine star Gulshan Grover will be there to cheer the students on. Please do make it a point to attend this function. Satyan Israni will have the details.
