Minutes of Meeting Ninety Days in Office The current RCPC board marked its three-month anniversary under the leadership of President Ajay Chitnis on September 30, 2023. The Club Assembly began with Rtn. PE Brig PKM Raja introducing eight young female boxers, who are part of the Women’s Empowerment Project titled “She Can and She Will”. Coming from economically- challenged backgrounds, the girls have shown considerable promise in the field of boxing and each of them was presented with a boxing kit courtesy RCPC. President Ajay gave brief updates on the success of the “Spirit of Giving” fundraising, ongoing Eye Check-up Camps, the RCPC Chess Tournament, the Project Asmita Symposium which is a multi-state Women Empowerment Program, the cultural program of the Rotaract Club of New Vision College of Arts and Commerce, and the Rotary Youth Exchange and New Generations Service Exchange seminar. Continuing the series of reminiscences by Past Presidents, last week it was Rtn. PP Madhu Rathi’s turn to look back on his year in office from 1998–99. PP Madhu highlighted several major projects undertaken during his tenure, including cancer detection camps, educating new mothers about the importance of breast-feeding, undertaking polio corrective surgeries, starting dental check-ups for the students of Jagruti School for Blind Girls, among many other ventures. He was especially proud that the Bulletin, edited by Rtn. PP Ebe Chaney, won a district-level award. President Ajay gave a quick rundown of various RCPC initiatives and projects, which was followed by their respective directors providing updates and status reports on the Club and Trust Budgets, Club Administration, the status of Global Grant and CSR projects, Medical, Non-Medical, and Youth Service projects, Public Image and Publication initiatives, plans and goals of the Membership Committee, International Service and collection for The Rotary Foundation, the Digital Club, and other plans. It was evident that RCPC has been extremely productive and active over the past three months. We offered birthday greetings to R’Ann Yasmin Patel, Rtn. Nandan Kumar Pugalia, and R’Ann Mukta Nadkar. We also wished Rtn. Juhi and Mr. Pankaj Mathur a happy wedding anniversary. The evening ended with a Mini Fellowship which was enjoyed by all, thanks to Rtn. PP Sukhminder Kalra’s careful supervision of the menu.
