Governor Speaks
First Lady Speaks
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
My Dear
Family,
The PEAK 15 Year has rolled out… and in style.
The DG installation function on 28th June was
attended by over 600 Rotarians and families, with
RI Director Dr. Manoj Desai as the Chief Guest.
The function depicted quality and hospitality,
looked after by Team Mumbai Parleshwar along
with Core Team, was crisp and well conducted.
Commitments to the tune of USD 1 Million were made by Rotarians
and clubs. Indeed a history in itself. Dr. Manoj Desai congratulated RI
District 3140 for its continued role as the leading district of Rotary
world, and exhorted the Rotarians to do something extraordinary in the
Grand Finale year of district.
On 1st July, a massive Blood Donation Drive “ Drop of Hope “ was
organized across the district… with Rotaractors and Inner Wheel
members as partners. Around 4373 bottles of blood collected, nearly
4500 Rotarians and partners worked on the ground level, at 15 major
railway stations, at hospitals, colleges etc… nearly 5 million plus
population saw Rotary in action in one single day.
In yet another historic event in itself, our first toilet block under
Sukhada – WinS thrust area was inaugurated at Gurukul Vidyapith
School at Thane, on 30th June. It was inaugurated at the hands of the
DG along with the local MLA Sh. Sanjay Kelkar, in presence of
Sukhada Team, Rotarians, school officials and students. A great
achievement indeed.
The season of club installations is now about to conclude… I had the
privilege to attend many… and I feel very happy to see our Presidents
so motivated, enlightened and eager to perform.
Friends… August is the Membership Month… we need to see
maximum activity in this avenue during this month. Please admit new
members during this period… we hope to launch few new clubs also
during August. Our teams are going to make a strong and motivated
effort… please be a part of this. We will do our best to create history on
Membership Growth as well.
In the meanwhile…. The District Picnic on 8th and 9th August to
Radisson Blue Resort Alibaug is going to the much needed retreat…
looking forward for that as well.
Well begun my friends… as we march towards the final peak…. PEAK
15.
Warm Regards,
Subhash
Rotary
Since 1st June & till 1st
August we both have
been visiting clubs for
installations.
In my opinion it's an
opportunity to meet the
Rotarians…Greet
outgoing Presidents, congratulate them and
greet and wish incoming President.
I have attended all installations with Subhash
& have enjoyed a lot with each and every
Rotarian in District 3140. Could feel the
warmth, friendship, concern and love
showered by Rotarians and their families. I
have met many Anns working silently behind
their spouses…offering every help they
needed. Enjoying every bit of their installation
and could read the pride in her or his eyes for
their spouse.
I love attending Rotary meetings with
Subhash. Now there is a hidden reason
behind it..I get to spend lot more time with him
on the way. To reach the venue on time, we
provide some time for traffic and invariably
reach early. And now… having to spend about
half an hour each time… we have discovered
lots of JOY POINTS around city and
suburbs….where we halt and have a cutting
chai, a sandwich, maybe a paratha, dosa.
Relished a bhutta in the rainy weather….a
selfie for our kids on which they enjoyed a lot.
Best is we really look odd in the crowds
around… being little formally dressed…but
we enjoy that as well.
Rotary has given the blessing from Rotarians
and Families..and a chance to enjoy our life in
best possible ways.
Love to all my friends in Rotary.
Best Wishes
Swati
