Shri Mahesh Mathur
President (2009 - 2010)
Thank you for bestowing this
responsibility of leading our club in 2009 -2010, in
me.
This comes to me after a span of 12 years & for us to
be successful this year, we need to reaffirm our faith
in the Objects of Rotary ie Ideal of Service.
The future of Rotary is in your hands.
It is what we do & set about to accomplish during
this year & how well meet our objectives that will
determine how the future generations will look upon
all of us who are assembled here today.
I would also like to thank the outgoing team led by
Rt. Devang Vora for all the good work done during the
year. With your help we will continue to carry on all
the good projects to achieve the desired objectives.
Rtn. John Kenny of Scotland our R.I. President 2009-10
has said that - The future of Rotary will not be
shaped at R.I. Headquarters, it will be shaped in each
and every Rotary Club because it is each of us as
Rotarians to do what is necessary to keep Rotary
strong.
Rtn. T.N.Subramanium (Popularly known as Raju) our
Dist 3140 District Governer for 2009-10. has given the
logo “ The distance is Nothing; It is only
the first step that is diffcult.” For team
2009-2010 “The sky is not the limit."
Based on the Object of Rotary, the
Avenues of Service are Rotary’s
philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which
club activity is based:
1.
Club Service
focuses on strengthening fellowship and
ensuring the effective functioning of the club.
2.
Vocational
Service
encourages
Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and
to practice high ethical standards.
3.
Community
Service
covers the
projects and activities the club undertakes to improve
life in its community.
4.
International
Service
encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s
humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote
world understanding and peace.
This year I would like to encourage
lots of joint projects with other clubs.
The growth of Membership is a important
Agenda for next year & let us see how many new members
are enrolled in our Club.
All of us have to recommend one or
more prospective member.
I have, on my Board many experienced
members and I am sure that Silver Jubilee of the club
in Oct.09 will be celebrated with gusto and grand fund
raising programme so that may more meaningful projects
are carried out by our club.
Please propose meaningful projects in
which you feel the Club should get involved.
I can assure you, all of you will have
my and my team full support.
I will like to thank my Wife Dolly. It
is with her support that I am standing here.
Thank you. We look forward to another
year of active service! |
