Dear Leaders 910
September began with the visit of the RI Director KR Ravindran, and Vanathi on 13th – 14th Sept09. The visit included the meeting of the Council of Governors, intercity meet and a one on one meeting with RID Ravi.
Thankyou goes out to Rtn Muthupalaniappan and Kamala for being the Aides to RID Ravi and Vanathi; My home club members Ravvi and J. Sridhar for coordinating and successfully organising the intercity meet @ the Lady Andal Auditorium. The success for this meet rests on the shoulders of the over 500 Rotarians and spouses of 3230 who made it to the venue on a Sunday afternoon.
The month saw many a GOV(Governors official visit) which are covered in the latter part of the GML.
September was an activity filled month with an Organ Donation Awareness Walkathon @ Ambur. A special mention on the efforts of Rtn Dr Sriram and Pres Vathi Khaleel who spearheaded this unique event. Rtn Kasthuri Raj(RYLA Chair) and Rtn Ramachandran(Youth Service Chair) created thefirst Annets RYLA @ Yelagiri. The District Rotaract Council celebrated New Generations month with the setting up of 25 libraries in 25 schools on World Literacy Day.
The highpoint in September was the International Fellowship and sister club signing event @ Sri Lanka. One of the greatest gifts of being a Rotarian is the opportunity to travel abroad and experience the friendship of Rotarians of different cultures. 40 sister club agreements were signed in the presence of PRIP Bill Boyd and RID Ravi. We have sown the seeds of a lifelong friendship with our sister clubs. A deeper understanding of the Internationality of Rotary infuses new life into ones role as a Rotarian.
October brings with it the challenge of the End Polio Campaign on 24th Oct 09. I invite you to cheer our intrepid End Polio Now sailors led by Rtn Capt Ravi and Ann Shantha@ Marina Beach. Do check out the announcements column for details. The End of Polio is in your hands.
Cheers!
Yours in Rotary
