Minutes of Meeting Pre-meeting fellowship started at 6.30 pm in Poona Club, Hall No.1, where members interacted on various topics. After calling the meeting to order at 7.00 pm, President Brigadier PKM Raja welcomed all Rtns & R’Anns of RCPC, visiting Rotarians and the prospective members who had come to witness RCPC’s Weekly Meeting and get a first-hand information about the functioning of RCPC. President Brigadier Raja thanked IPP Cmde Ajay Chitnis and Members of BOD 2023-24 as well as all Rtns and their spouses, for a wonderful RY 2023-24 with lots of milestones and achievements. Brigadier Raja then made a mention of the Members of BOD 2024-25 and said that in them we have a superb blend of youth and experience to take us through RY 2024-25 with wholehearted support from all members of RCPC. The President stated that we are all here as members of RCPC by destiny and we are the chosen ones…. let us make use of this opportunity to make a difference to the society in which we live. The President exhorted all members to read the RCPC’s Weekly Bulletin Central Turf as well as our Club’s Directory CentralNet regularly. There is so much of valuable Rotary information in them, that it will help us improve our standing as true Rotarians. President Raja also explained the concept and rationale for forming the Eleven Coordination Sub Groups in our Club. He stated that the details of who is in which Coordination Sub Group is given at page 16 of the CentralNet which has been given to all members. The Calendar of RCPC Events which is on the last page of the CentralNet for RY 2024-25, gives dates and months in which each Sub Group must present one Internal Program. There will be attractive prizes at a special award ceremony at the end of the year for good performance by the Coordination Sub Groups. Rtn Raman Nanda Sub Group will kick start their program on 24 August 2024. The President also said that let us all take a pledge that when we enter the hall for the Weekly Meetings, we try and bring in positiveness and spread it – we will not involve in backbiting or politics or groupism as we are all crucial integral cogs in the Wheel of Rotary Club of Pune Central. This Rotary time… lets devote to understand and enjoy Rotary.
