MILES OF MAY 2018 Voice of the DRR “Dear Rotaractors, I’m extremely happy to write once again on the MILES – the most successful newsletter ever in our district. We are at the near end of the year and I have been thinking how wonderful our journey has been so far. I feel it to be great blessing to be the DRR of this wonderful district that has produced many wonderful things. We had only limited activities in the past few days because our Rotaractors had various examinations in their academics. I’m very much concerned that Rotaract should not stand as a trouble in the career growth of our Rotaractors. During the month of May, we have an exciting cricket tournament at Karur. – Golden Rotaract Premier League. We have another major event – Community Clubs Conclave by the next month and the date will be announced sooner. I thank all the Rotarians and Rotaractors for your support so far and expecting the best of your support in the only month that is remaining. I wanted to mention my team of district officers who have been working so well and I request everyone to be at the best as we are going to celebrate our success. Keep up the good work!” Regards, Rtr. B. Balachander DRR (2017-18) +91 96263 51115 rtrbalachander@gmail.com
