1. Issue: 3Volume: 34 Date: 23.07.2014 Pages: 4 At the outset, thanks to all my friends in Midtown and R o t a r y f o r y o u r overwhelming appreciation for our installation program on 9th July. I am still dreaming that wonderful evening. I got hold of the CD of the program, and I am sure nobody enjoyed as much as I did. The plot for this year's event was to have a story as the background theme and hold audience glued to their chairs till the end. I succeeded in that aspect as the story invoked lot of interest and interaction at the end. The gift for giving the suitable answer was won by veteran Rtn. Raghu. The story was apt for the Rotarians and their Rotary culture. Over this background story, the events were interspersed suitably. The welcome by the outgoing President Rtn. Bhanuchandran was the repeat show of our old hit His speech and my actions and content of the speech was different. Then the Chief guest PG. Rtn. Nagendra and AG Rtn. Jayaprakash were wonderfully introduced by Annet Saanvi Rakesh. Rock had seen to it that she wins a prize here also and she won the accolades from the Chief Guest as the best intro he had in the last 1 year. Flashpoint of the day was the introduction of the New team members by Munnabhai and Circuit and Annets Pratham and Pranav easily stole the show and won the hearts of all present in the gathering. The catchy script(courtesy Rtn. Harish) and the uency of the dialogue delivery was awesome hats off to them for their no inhibitions attitude. Installation of the new team was followed by lighting of the lamp by all present Midtown's Magic at Venky's Installation on the stage and the song Deepavu ninnade was the background score. It was apt for the New Year's theme Light Up Rotary. I always appreciated Venky's dancing skills and the moment was now to show case that. The dancing talents of Midtown- Rakesh, Raju, Naveen, Babanna were brought together and they started putting their steps to the energetic number Tune maari entry and the newly crowned president joined them and the 2 minute dance on the stage with full throttle music put the hall into cloud nine. Venky gave his acceptance speech gasping after the dance. The three new entrants of Midtown Vivek Sangle, Madhusudhan, and Manjunath were introduced to the gathering by the Shastri brothers Suhas and Sankeerth. They did a good job and the appreciation followed. The new members were inducted by the chief guest. Community service project for the day was donation of uniforms to Su Trust School and the donor was Lavanya Alagappan. The About Us bulletin and The Roster were released by the AG Rtn. Jayaprakash and ZL Rtn. Raghavendra respectively. The chief Guest PG Rtn. Nagendra in his speech nicely elucidated incidents how Rotary has touched lives and reduced suffering In the community. He touched upon the theme Light up Rotary and narrated many incidents during his governorship which were worth appreciating. He was full of praise for the outgoing teams' accomplishments including achieving signicant achievement award. 20 minutes of his Continued to page 2
