Madhukar MalhotraDistrict Governor

ongratulations to IPDG Chetan Aggarwal and his team for a great year – he has

established new benchmarks for us to breach and I look forward to team 2010-11 Cto work with commitment and continuity in taking forward the projects and

programs of Rotary in the Year Ahead.

We must keep the core values of Rotary – Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity and

Leadership – in sight as we embark on our journey together. We have just one year but it is

an opportunity of a life time to leave a permanent footprint in the history of our clubs

and district, by giving life to the plans, projects and programs we have discussed for the

past few months and other plans you may have in conformity with rotary values at the

club and your local community. Together we can make BIGGER BETTER BOLDER

clubs as we make progress in execution of our plans for the year.

Do interact with the Assistant Governors and zone committee chair to nominate your

club representatives on the zone committee so that a large number of Rotarians are

involved in the planning and executions of projects and programs. Every Rotarian is a

leader in his own right and I appeal to all members of the rotary family of district 3080 to

join hands and make the year ahead an outstanding success.

Pre-PETS, SETS, DTTS, AGTS, PETS, District Assembly and the Membership

Development Seminar were all well attended and successful. We also had a workshop on

the Rotary Foundation with the Assistant Governors and members of the TRF

Committee to discuss and plan some new initiatives in TRF and Polio to clear some

misgivings and bring new energy to the TRF and Polio Programs. This would be further

discussed by them at the zonal committee meetings. I expect all the zone chairs and AGs

to conduct zonal workshops preferably before July end. I look forward to hear from the

zone committee chairs on the deliberations and activity plans worked out by you to

translate plans into reality.

In July clubs must install the new teams and are encouraged to hold blood donation

camps in their respective communities.

Let us dedicate our selves in the year ahead to translate the vision of our leader RI

President Ray Klinginsmith in “Building Communities – Bridging Continents”.

Jai Ho!

Yours in Rotary Service,

A New year, A New beginning...with New ideasUnder a New leadership … but All under ONE focus on“Building Communities. Bridging Continents”.

Having a bumper kick-start at the 'PETS' in Kufri, where we all got together with the motive of 'Working Together' –a wonderful and highly inspiring talk by none other than our own mentor and idol – Mrs. Usha Saboo, who left us all spell bound. Her past experiences in Rotary and future ideas left no scope for any confusion thus making our perceptions clear.

Friends, do I need to say more? As spouses – we can & we SHALL dedicate ourselves to Rotary Team 10-11, to work hand-in-hand with the Presidents & members involving ourselves in the projects & programs of the club. This shall go a long way to pave the path for a successful and meaningful year. So keep your spirits up & get moving – Till we meet next….

Make July, the month.
