Industrial Area on 1st August.

Voluntary Blood Donation and Motivation.

Rotaractors from all over the district gathered on a

this moral cause.

The seminar began with an address by PRID O P Vaish

Ji, Chairman Rotary Blood Bank, followed by a spirited

talk by PRID Sudershan Agrawal Ji,President Emeritus,

RBB. Rtn.Tejinder Singh, District Chairperson RBB

Committee, welcomed the audience and charmed

everyone with her zeal and enthusiasm. PDG Sanjeev

Khanna appreciated the resolve shown by the young

Rotaractors present and motivated them to “Do

something for someone who will never be able to

repay you.”

After an interactive break over tea, the session

recommenced with a presentation by Rtn.Tejinder

Singh on “How to woo donors and conduct successful

blood donation camps”. The technical aspects of blood

donation were explained through a presentation “The

Vital Factor” by Mrs.Asha Bazaz, Chief Technical

Oficer, RBB.

The visit concluded with a guided tour of the blood

bank and small tokens of appreciation for all attendees.

Rtr.Manik Gupta surprised all with chocolates to mark

day celebrated in a noble way !

From The DRR’s Desk

Dear Friends,

I want to thank you all for believing in me and accepting me to lead

this organisation. I take it with great responsibility and honour to

lead the Rotaract activities in District 3010 for the year 2010-11.

Rotaract is all about friendship, learning and service to the socitey. I

believe, if we in rotaract, can be good friends, then we can have

great opportunities to learn and make a difference to this society and

its issues .

This year’s theme – “LEARNING THROUGH FELLOWSHIP”

reflects the intention of bringing all of us together not only to learn

and create fellowship but also uniting together to look at the sections

of the society which are still deemed of knowledge and basic

standards of living. Every individual is unique and has its own view

of looking at things . If we bring our visions together and focus on

the issues of the society , we can create Magic.

As quoted by Shri Rabindranath Tagore - “Life is given to us, we

earn it by giving it” . We must be greatful to be born in the society

we live in. This society has made us capable . Its time to give back

what we owe to it.

Lets join our hands together to take the future of this country to an

all new level.

Tonnes of Love and Regards

EDITORIAL

“Get your motor running, Head out on the highway…

Looking for adventure, And whatever comes your way…”

And so we have begun with another new and much-

awaited Rotaract year. A young and enthusiastic DAC

team led by Rtr. Manik Gupta who believes in “Learning

through Fellowship”.

As all of us settle into our new roles, let us take a

moment to ponder on the year past. The thoughts and

ideas that transformed into actions. The ones that

couldn’t and require still more efforts to materialize. Let

us delve into a Rotaractor’s reverie and visualize Rotaract

as we wish it to be, at the epitome , better than the best.

“Service Before Self” is our motto and that is what is

required from all of us to take Rotaract District 3010 to

newer heights.

Any mountain can be conquered if we work together.

Nothing is impossible if we unite our efforts to achieve it.

We ought to believe that we are one of the leaves of a

tree that is District 3010. We cannot live without the

others, the tree. Rotaract year 2010-11 is the year of

fellowship. It is a time to make to go out and make

friends. We at the DAC hope to see a host of inter-club

and inter-district events this time round. Why confine the

good work !

The Installation ceremony and the Rotary Blood Bank visit

were brilliant kickstarts. I’m overwhelmed to see the

participation from all of you. Hope we can continue with

the same enthusiasm all year long. Here’s to spreading

the “MADness”. Afterall we’re Making A Difference!

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract
