MILES OF JANUARY 2018 Voice of the DRR “Dear Rotaractors, Wish you all a Happy New Year 2018. My advance wishes and greetings for the upcoming Pongal season too. We have completed half of our Rotaract Year very successfully and we have only 50 % left out of the 365 Calendar days. I’m glad to say that we have also completed most of the events planned for the Calendar Year. I’m very thankful for the support we received so far from our District Governor, District Rotaract Committee Chair, Rotary’s Youth Service Team and Rotarians of District 3000. I would also like to extend my thanks to the energetic Rotaract Leaders and especially the District Officers and the Core Team who work hard for the growth of the organization. We are planning to have another exciting six months that can overrate the milestones achieved in the past six months. During this month we have Bus RYLA as an innovative project and also we have planned to conduct Aram Training Seminar in as much clubs as possible. Also we are working on structuring and organizing our District Conference in a grand manner. Very sooner the dates will be announced and intimations will be given to all the clubs through proper channel. I hope that we can do a lot of better things in this month and in the months to follow with the support of all Rotaractors. Thanks to all your constant support in making this year remarkable. Wishing everyone all the very best.” Regards, Rtr. B. Balachander DRR (2017-18) +91 96263 51115 rtrbalachander@gmail.com
