HAPPENINGS OF LAST TWO WEEKS

Before I go forward I would like to wish EID MUBAARAK TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND HAPPY NAVRATRI AS WELL. We are entering into Festive Season and naturally it would increase the attendance as there are more celebrations inthe coming months. Meetings for October 2009 are pasted in the Calendar below.

They made us proud! :

1. PP Sunil Vakil was a Faculty for TRF Seminar at Surat. His presentation was precise and earned kudos.

2. District Membership Development Seminar at Vallabh Vidyanagar was a grand success with 260 registrations. Congratulations to Rotarians of RC V.V. Nagar, DG Major Sharma and DMC Bharat Solanki. Our Club was ably represented by 17 Rotarians and 3 Anns, which was the second highest. Since I was the Chief Guest let me convey my gratitude to RCBM Clan for encouraging me. Fellowship lunch at Flavours certainly was the highlight of that day.

3. President Dr. Sharmishtha Desai for training spouses at GETS (Governor Elect Training Seminar) at Cochin on 16th and 17th September.
