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 of LC International
at the LCI Conference in Denmark. |
