Warm greetings to each of you.
When God leads you to
the edge of the cliff, trust him fully. Only 1 out of the 2 things
will happen. Either he will catch you when you fall or he will teach
you to
fly and believe me friends when I took over I had the feeling of
standing at the edge of a cliff and now I’ve learnt to fly.
My journey
started with our Theme Coloring Lives & I am so glad Crs have taken
fwd this theme very well. But let me ask you all, What do we mean
when we say or let me put it like this WHY Coloring Lives? and I would once again
say lets all continue our journey of F & S by Coloring Lives.
On the national
front, I had decided even before I took charge that v shall not announce
a national project, or a national publicity event, etc, simply
because I want each of you to use your spark and spread your colour &
also because I realized that a event which may suit a particular
city may not suit the other. Simple & practical suggestions,
directives and initiatives facilitating circles projects, publicity
events, fellowship do’s were passed on thru the year planner. ALL
national board members have very sincerely contributed. To just
mention a few,
For the 1st
time A secretary’s software was introduced and a copy of the same
was sent to all circle secretaries. Most of them have given a good
feedback saying its very informative and useful.
A publicity
brochure and a CD has been designed, which shall be a part of
the LC INDIA press kit – the 1st of its kind, which shall
go a long way in helping circles in availing publicity.
After the
successful completion of CEXT and fun n learn, The patriotism module
4 twinklers has been designed and certificates made for all
participants. A Leadership Conclave for only crs is scheduled in
Delhi.

thru project tools 4 schools, under which an aid of Rs. 5,000 was
given to 10 young circles. 50,000 rupees to subsidies Circlers to an
