Dear Friends,
LAST MEETING
President Premal started the meeting sharp at 8.15 p.m. after 15 minutes of fellowship period. He invited Ann Pratima to recite the prayer.
1. The meeting was called to order by AG Pinky Patel.
2. The 4-Way Test was recited by Ann Manisha R. Bhatt.
3. Then President requested for official exchange of collar at the hands of IPP Dr. Sharmishtha Desai. Everybody applauded her for the same.
4. Induction of Development Leaders was done by PDG Dr. Manoj Desai.
5. Rotary Kits to new members were given at the hands of AG Pinky Patel.
6. Then President invited Rtn. Sunil Vakil to induct the Counselors and given his Inspirational Address.
7. Rtn. Sunil Vakil took us down the nostalgic journey of 25 years in less than 7 minutes. He highlighted couple of important points like - (i) Club has never believed in pomp and show and (ii) Club has hosted about 17 events in 20 years and our actions were louder than our words. He also said that nobody in our District as ever thought about going 350 Kms. away to do projects – AASTHA & NISHTHA He welcomed new Rotarians and confessed that Rotary has given about 10 to 15 life long friends. He conveyed his kudos to Dr. Sharmishtha for the meaningful difference making year in Membership, Projects, Donations, etc. that we had. He requested Members to get involved and enjoy the fellowship of traveling together for Rotary events. He reminded everyone that original 3 Charter Members (3 Idiots for 25 years!?) are now feeling exhausted and are welcoming new Rotarians with great ideas to make the club vibrant. Finally be wished President Premal all the best.
8. President invited new members to introduce themselves and highlight why they joined Rotary.
Himanshu Rana – He is into Heavy Fabrication and firmly believes that one many can’t do anything but united we can do wonders. He has known Rotary through Premal and he approached Premal to make him a Rotarian.
Rita Patel – Modest and Humble to the Core. Rita said that we should put in our efforts to create an Altruistic Society. Everyone told her that she was rock solid support for all the actions of Nileshbhai for so many years. She has joined Rotary to continue to make the world a better living place.
Dr. Nitin Bhate – He came with many surprises like he was a Rotaractor at Badegaon. He did his college at Miraj and Masters from MS University and PH.D at IIT, Mumbai. In 2006 he came to Vadodara and joined Kala Bhavan. He confessed that he has visited many other clubs but did not like due to their pomp and show (He added; “less action and more words”). Dialysis project brought him to Rotary and he was to be an asset to the Club to make it a ‘Difference Makers Club.’
Sunil Joshi – He is a Computer IT Graduate from Tata Unisys. His wife teaches IT in Navrachna Vidhalay as Technical Coordinator. They are blessed with 10 month old Kritika (immediately Savir requested to bring her in order to experience the same that we all had when Savir and Kavita used to bring their twin daughters to the Club). Sunil Joshi is into Export Engineering Firm providing machinery to Africa and South America. Being a Partner of Mitesh, it is natural that he has heard about Rotary and its projects. That has brought him to Rotary.
Our average age is going down friends. ALL IS WELL in our Club.
9. Then was the time for President Premal to give his Acceptance Speech. He said I do not promise you speeches and I may falter in protocol but one thing is for sure that our Silver Jubilee Year would be remembered for excellent Services and Fellowship, both, as we contribute to the uplift the Society. He highlighted the fundamental principles of Paul Harris – Service and Fellowship. He requested everyone to come forward to do one project at least. He was highly appreciative of 17 Rotarians for Atmanirbhar at Dashrat. He reminded us that there will be many projects in different areas for Atmanirbhar as we have more than Rs.17 lacs in MG available. He also informed Rotarians that all the five machines of Project Sanjeevani are fully booked and one more is donated by AG Pinky Patel’s uncle. Our next Project of getting 3 more machines will fructify soon. He complimented IPP Dr. Sharmishtha. He was hopeful that unique bled of young and old will certainly take the club to create new milestone called Silver Milestone. You can imagine when 24 Rotarians clapped together what encouragement it provides to the President!
Slogan for the Year – Rotary Ke Liya Kuch Bhi Karega. The meeting was over at 9.30 p.m. sharp. The meeting ended over good Chinese delight.
