| Minutes of Meeting | Romance with Jazz followed by Happy Hours It was a terrific start to the new Rotary Year under President Ajay’s leadership. Two new members, Mr. Rahul Katariuya, and Mr. Rahul Sahai were inducted into the club. They were introduced by their respective proposers and welcomed by Pres. Ajay and all the members. After members were greeted for their birthdays and wedding anniversaries, President Ajay welcomed the two distinguished musicians Col Rohit & Aniruddha as also Rtn. Vipen Malhotra to compere the musical evening. Together they regaled the audience with some iconic songs played on the saxophone & the jazz guitar, prominent amongst them being Pink Panther, Tin Roof, Strangers in the night, Besame Mucho, La Bamba, Love Story, Harlem Nocturne and Stevie Wonder’s “I just called to say”. A lot of fun quotient was injected by way of a question answer session to enlighten the not so initiated with Jazz with this unique genre of music and some on the spot interesting questions to be answered by the audience! Many of our members came back to the President to compliment him for a great start to the new Rotary year. The musicians too were mobbed by many members after the meeting to applaud their soulful renditions. A few members even said that Col Rohit and Aniruddha managed to recreate a Jazz evening of the kind one finds in New Orleans, USA. President Ajay ended the meeting, conveying his thanks to Col. Rohit, Aniruddha and Rtn Vipen Malhotra for a memorable evening. The happy hours and the mini-fellowship that followed saw most of the members attending the meeting stay back and enjoy the lingering taste of an evening well spent. The choice of snacks was also complimented by many members. |
