It is really a proud privilege to get the opportunity to lead a 53 years old club from the forefront. The year I joined Rotary the theme was “Lead the Way”. That very theme inspired me to join this great movement.
The RI theme for the year 2009-10 “THE FUTURE OF ROTARY IS IN YOUR HANDS”, you would agree, this is an eternal truth for any movement. The successes of any project dependent on the support that we get from the members and the society at large.
I have a very clear visions for my Rotary year: PROJECTS: PROJECTS & PROJECTS. I want to take Rotary out of the meeting rooms and reach out to the society. Planning is essential but execution is more important.
I strongly believe that Interact & Rotaract are the hands of a Rotary Club and RCCs are the delivery point. We are really proud to have a devoted group of Rotaractors and cooperative team of RCC members with us.
My dream is to have few projects where the family members of Sou’westers would also be present. We shall have lots of fellowship programs involving the spouses. Enhanced involvement of family is essential for the better future of Rotary.
I am happy to take charge of a club with a very strong a devoted Board of Directors and whose each and every committee is being chaired by a Rotarian who knows the subject in and out. I am confident that the Future of Rotary is in good hands.
Yours in Rotary
Rtn Subhro Banerjee
President RCCSW
