Introduction |
|
| Ladies
Circle is a non-political and non-sectarian organization
made up of the wives of members of Round Table.
It offers opportunities for serving the community,
for fostering and strengthening friendships between
like-minded young women and helps create a better
understanding of the obligations one owes to the
society. The Ladies Circle movement first came
to India in 1968. The wives of members of Round
Table No. 9 in Coimbatore formed the first Circle.
Coimbatore LC 1 received its Charter on 30th August
1969 from the then Round Table India President
S.L.Chitale. It was soon followed by Madras LC
2, Calcutta LC 3 and Madras LC 4 all getting chartered
in 1970. The National Association of Ladies Circle
India was formed in 1970 with four member Circles.
At the inaugural meeting of LC India in March
1970, the Constitution and Bye-Laws were adopted
and the National Officers were elected. On March
17th 1970, Founder President, LC India Cr. Shashi
Gulati received the Charter of affiliation from
Ladies Circle International presented by the then
LCI President, Cr. Magdelena Nordens Kjold. In
September 1970, LC India became a Full member
