First Rotary meeting for 2007-08

The first meeting was held at Hotel Connemara and Varadarajan conducted the Club Assembly in style. All Directors made their presentations and we have now a close to 7 million Rupees worth of projects that are to be taken on. A prospective member was introduced to the Club by Secretary Rahul and Karthik introduced Muthukumar as a propsective member. As we keep moving I feel that we will be able to reach our target of 40 members this year, initiative taken by Karthik in moving our club meeting place to Connemara will pay dividends and so also the efforts being put in by all members towards bettering every sphere of activity. Resources are important and we are lucky in this.

Start of a New Rotary Year

We have started another New Rotary year, Rtn Varadarajan was installed as President of the club with a powerful team of office bearers. Plans have been made for the year and they include, water treatment plant for Kovalam village, support to Chip Ross Centre for Learning, Helping Hands continues with more support from Strathcona Sunrise, provision of sleeping koits to conservancy workers and more. Many members of the Lodge went to Pondicherry for a weekend of brain storming soon ater installtion and have returned with renewed commitment, energy and enthusiasm. This being the 10th year for RCCK will be an important milestone in which the Club hopes to build steps leading to the top. Thanks to all who have been helpful and interested in us.
