Rotary Club Of Deonar

Message from RI President

21 July 2011


To the members of the

Rotary Club of Deonar, Maharashtra, India

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary:

I am pleased to offer my congratulations to you as you celebrate your club’s 25th anniversary.

25 years ago, your club’s charter members came together to begin a Rotary club—to share their enthusiasm and their vision to make Deonar a better place.

Today, Deonar is a better place, because it has a Rotary club—where men and women of talent, ability, caring, and compassion come together to share their strengths with others. It is my belief that we Rotarians are pragmatic idealists, who bring our ideals to life through our Rotary service. We aspire to live our lives ethically, honestly, with the Four-Way Test to guide us, as we work to elevate ourselves and thereby, to elevate the world.

All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to one ray of inner light of the self. And when Rotarians come together in love and service, those rays of inner light burn more brightly together. In the years to come, this is my wish for your club: that the flame of love and devotion burn in your hearts, that the light of understanding shine in your minds, that the warmth of harmony glow in your homes, and that the bright rays of service shine forth ceaselessly from your hands.

Sincerely,

Kalyan Banerjee

President, 2011-2012
