They had a stall named 'Three Princess Lemonade' where they sold oranges plucked from their bungalow trees and also lemonade made from fresh lemons. In two hours, they collected $ 100. CISCO, where Rtn Shroff's daughter Sushma works, contributed $100 and the $200 was remitted to Rotary International. These proceeds, were transferred as charity for the COVID project of Rotary Club of Pune Central.
