Dear Rotary Leaders,

Ann. Srimathi and I convey our warm greetings to you and your family.

I am glad to note that our clubs continue to do an excellent job in BUILDING COMMUNITIES through the various projects. So far it has been a very eventful year and the credit should go to all the clubs.

The 100th eye camp organised at NAGAMANGALA was a very good programme and I am glad to inform you that it was their 10th year successfully completing 100 eye camps. The response was overwhelming. I congratulate Nagamangala club for this. Keep it up.

By the end of March 2011, 95% of our GOV's completed. The GOVs were an interesting experience to me and it was an opportunity to meet all the Rotarians and have one to one discussion with them. It also gave me an insight into the various projects taken up by our clubs and the benefit derived BY THE COMMUNITY.

The IRELAND NITE organised in March continued our efforts in BRIDGING CONTINENTS. We have some more international nites to follow in the succeeding months.

The Rotaract District Conference went off very well and the deliberations at the conference focused on the needs of the new generation. I congratulate the new generation district team and the Rotaractors.

DGE Pandurang Potnis is planning the year ahead very well. The training programmes for the incoming leaders have started and the ones which are completed have gone well.

I was happy when several Rotarians came forward to contribute to TRF. I appeal to such of those Rotarians who have made the commitment to kindly honour the commitment and make the payment. I am to request Rotarians to strengthen the TRF through their contributions.

This year we have started several matching grant projects. They are progressing well. My request is that please complete these projects by the end of this rotary year.

Time has come to finalise on District Awards. I once again request such of those clubs who are yet to send the details may please to do so immediately.
