FIRST SUNDAY MEET, 11TH JULY.

Hello Friends,

Today on the first sunday of the new year after our installation ceremony on 4th July, our club members met at the club centre. Meeting was attended by 8 members.

Today's meeting had two agenda. First to discuss about for Our club attending the District Assembly at Bikaner to be held on 24th and 25th July. The members discussed for selecting the mode of transport to reach Bikaner as the distance is too much. Moreover, after that, we discussed about some projects or performance that might be done there at Bikaner to grace the event. All the members present agreed to the idea given by Rtr.Joel of a project that will be done in the District Assembly.

We also discussed about different performance that our members can try to do solo or in group at the District Assembly in Bikaner. Still awaiting a consensus from the members.

Secondly, we started discussion as to increase the strength of members in our club. Each member present were asked to make atleast one new member. Rotarian Sandesh who attended our meeting, had brought one of his colleague friend Mr.Nikesh also in our meeting. And thanks to Rotarian Sandesh, that Mr.Nikesh agreed to become the member of our club. With that our club's strength increased by 6 members in the passage of 7 days of our installation ceremony on 4th July.

After the discussion about the District Assembly, as it was the first meeting where good number of members attended it, we tried to make it more lively and happening. We had some singing done by few members. Rtr.Vishal, a member who is very active and who has a good command in public speaking, sang very nice and beautiful songs. Not only did he sing, but he also explained the scene before of that song and why the song was made, what each lines of the song meant and who sang it. His knowledge, courage and enthusiam deserved a loud applause from all members and so did he get.

Then some music was played in the laptop which was enjoyed by all along with some light refreshment and cold drinks. Everybody enjoyed the meeting.

JAI HIND.

CEREMONY OF ROTARY CLUB OF AHMEDABAD WEST, 8TH JULY.

Hello friends,

Today was the installation ceremony day of the Rotary Club of Ahmedabad West. The function was held at Honest Hotel, Prahladnagar area. From our club Rtr.Nikita (Secretary), Rtr.Joel, Rtr.Manasvi, Rtr.Vishal and I attended the event. It was an event where there was pomp, boredom and jazzy food in the end, to put it brief.

All the members of Rotary Club of Ahmedabad West seemed to be present. The Chief Guest was a personality figure, who has been in textile designing since many years. His personality would doubt anyone, but as it is rightly said, that looks are deceiving. And so did happen, he was a man of high respect. The function had some good speeches by different members of their club. They, in the beginning of the event, gave away some trophy awards to members of their club as well as to the members of rotaract club.

From our club, I received "the outstanding member of the club" award for the year 2009-10. This was a second time in a row. I feel honoured and I Thank to the immediate past president Rtr.Joel and to all my club members and to the members of Rotary Club of Ahmedabad West, to see such qualities in me and awarding me for the same. I promise to keep that spirit alive in me in the coming years also with your support.

The major success we achieved in attending their event, was that our club was able to get two new members. I feel proud to announce Mr.Javed and Mr.Abhinav, as the members of Rotaract Club of Ahmedabad West.

With the beginning of the year 2010-11 of Rotaract Club of Ahmedabad West, in four days, our club had been lucky to add 5 new members in the strength of our club. I thank from the bottom of my heart to all those who inspired our 5 new members to join our club.

The event concluded with a good dinner party.

JAI HIND.
