LAST MEETING - 18th Febuary

President Sharmishtha welcomed everybody and Chief Guest gave overview of the projects of recent past, namely Polio Plus Immunization and Conference Details. She complimented the then IPP Rajan Bhatt and the then Secretary Nandkishore for the great performance and winning as many as six awards which were displayed on the table. She also highlighted the upcoming project of Training Teachers to educate the children with learning disability (Tare Zameen Par). She appreciated the hard work of Chairman Manisha Bhatt, Mitesh Bhatt and President Elect Premal Smart and requested all the members of our club to remain present in large numbers.

Interventional Cardiologist of Baroda Dr. V.C. Chauhan was the Guest Speaker. As expected, he came little late due to emergency and he suggested that why not have dinner first. So RCBM Clan had dinner first and the meeting started at 8.40 p.m. Those who did not remain present missed something special. So much of wits and humour and of course intersting photographs. Some people never wanted me to move the slides!? He took RCBM Clan by surprise and gave his talk nearly for 50 minutes intervowen by many, many interesting questions. It was good that we had dinner first as otherwise after the talk the same dinner would look like committing a sin!

IPP Rajan Bhatt proposed Vote of Thanks in his usual unorthodox style befitting the class talk that we had.
