PETS & SETS - 4th April, 2010

Dear Friends,
Yet another success - shall I say a 'Golden Feather in the cap of RCBM!' Under the Chairmanship of AG Alok Desai and Presidentship of Dr. Sharmishtha Desai, RCBM successfully hosted PETS & SETS. The total number of delegates present were 124.

Hotel Surya Palace saw a flurry of activities from 6.45 a.m. in the morning. Nearly 20 Club Members and 3 Annets were present from 7.30 and taking care of their assigned jobs. At 8.15 a.m. delegates started arriving. Pictures will tell you the story of our success. Annets of RCBM who were traditionally dressed welcomed the Guests with tikka and spouses with rose buds. Leaders arrived and everybody enjoyed breakfast till 9.00.a.m.

Time Management was its best with DT Ashok Panjwani and DGE Devang Thakore. Dot at 9.00 a.m. they started the meeting without worrying for the late comers and absentees. Speakers did a marvellous job. Chairman Alok welcomed every one in his unique style highlighting Baroda's importance in many other fields including cricket.
DGE and DT were to the point and delivered their crisp speeches in time. Discovery of the day - Chief Guest PDG Dr. Ulhas Kolhatkar from Mumbai delivered master piece on the subject of Leadership. His speech will be remembered for a long time to come. He was flawless in English, Hindi and Marathi with Sanskrit Shlokas and anecdotes - not to forget history as well. Spontaneous standing ovation was testimony of his beautiful speech.

All the Speakers did a good job and after lunch for nearly two hours Group Discussions were held with each AG and four to five Club Presidents with PDGs as Resource Persons. A successful new experiment. All Presidents have filled up the required forms - hands on experience works wonders! Finally, it was the time of 45 minutes interactive session on 'Manage Your Time and Improve Communication Skills by PDG Dr. Manoj Desai, who lived upto the audiences' expectations with subtle examples without losing focus on Rotary.

Concluding Session was short, which was followed by distribution of certificates to the Presidents. President Sharmishtha proposed vote of thanks.

One more time KUDOS to RCBM Clan.

TODAY'S MEETING - BUSINESS MEETING at 7.30 - HI-TEA FOLLOWED BY MEETING AT HOTEL SURYA PALACE.
