Rtn. S.V. Rao is going to file a report for the meet and hence I am going to present few of my observations (and Rotary Gyan ) made / gathered at the meet.

Did you know that?....

• RC Bombay is coming out with a Rotary Tower that will be a Rotary monument in Mumbai…are you thinking anything like this for Rotary in your area?
• RI Dist 3140 was the highest contributor among all the Rotary districts in the world?
• A RC from Andheri will be hosting a Kanheri Festival under the Asmita ( our district thrust area) ?
• DG appealed to RC Ulhasnagar to build a museum of History?
• In Europe Rotary goes on vacation…although not officially?
• Siera Leon, a country in worn torn Africa, where tribes fight war for superiority and that the war is stopped officially for Polio vaccination?
• A Mayor of a city in Europe issued a circular…..” Rotary is an organization doing important service to human kind. Please observe … from (this) day to …(this) day as a Rotary Week.?

HKKN...Hum Kisise Kum Nahin... !

• Dr. J.T.Vyas said that in 1998 few had heard of the internet, but in 2008 at a District Assembly, a live video talk witgh New Zealanad Rotarians was held. Well, this reminded me of a similar video talk that Ajay and I , had with an Australian Rotarian/Ham Radio operator in 1999 !
• PP Rtn. Gopal Mandania talked about starting an E-club for District 3140. The idea of similat club, where members can meet electronically was discussed in our club much before even the first E-club was started in Rotary world !
• Giving need is at a higher level than a need for receiving ( Maslow's Theory of Hierarchy of Needs). Rtn. Prafful Sharma, in his skit featuring a scene from the year 2030, portrayed few Indian clubs discussing giving grants to foreign clubs. Well, Rtn. DJ (Deepak Jiandani) put forward this point of giving a grant of US$ 2500-3000 to a club in need in Turkey, in the present era at BOD meeting held a day before this ICF meet!

Mr. Ujjwal Shah, owner of Balaji Hall, was inducted as an honorary Rotarian by RC Bhiwandi.
