 24
years back, when I moved to the small town of Ichalkaranji from
Calcutta – I felt lonely as I did not have any friends. But when
my acquaintances who were Rotary Members asked me to join Polio
March in 1988 – I was hooked for Rotary forever.
I joined Rotary for friendship & meeting new people – service
was not a consideration. But once involved, I found it to be a
fascinating world of service, Rotary members were like a great
family & they made me an integral
of that family.
I started taking responsibilities & in the years that followed,
we did some good work. We never had a Matching Grant Project but
I have done 13 till date! I helped in starting many permanent
projects.
I love Rotary Foundation – I love the friends that Rotary has
given me – in all parts of world, which would not ever be
possible otherwise.
I have tried to repay all that it has given me by donating to
TRF & volunteering for community projects. But I know, I will
never be able to repay for what I have gained from Rotary. My
years as a Rotarian are best part of my life!
Thanks Rotary for all the good changes in me & my family.
