Bangalore Ladies Circle 19

Celebrating another year of

Friendship and Service

Hi Everyone,

It is with immense satisfaction that I am penning down these few words of

the year gone by. When I started off as the Chairperson of BLC19, I was

clueless. As a floor circler my experience was limited to bouts of activeness

and back benching for most part. Now that the mantle was upon me, it

suddenly dawned on me what a huge task I had! And not just for a single

project or an activity but for a whole year – 12 months … 365 days …phew!!

It reminded me of a conversation in one of my favorite books-

“Why was I chosen? „Such questions cannot be answered,' said Gandalf. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess. But

you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

And so I did, with the heart and strength of the wonderful circle that I am part of the way forward was pretty easy. Circling is amazing. It‟s an

opportunity and an experience presented to you and you can make whatever you want of it. We have friends and we party and we do so many donations

on our own. What makes circling different? There is a certain magic in it. To have friends and to work together and accomplish things, to experience the

complexities and to solve it and strategize it, to sometimes work for things that don‟t eventually pan out and come back from it and to eventually

celebrate the success of it – TOGETHER. It‟s all magical only and only if it‟s done together.

I am glad and grateful for this wonderful opportunity of being the chairperson of my circle, of working with an amazing group of people and to

experience the satisfaction of seeing things happen. I thank each and every 19er for making this year memorable for me and I will cherish each moment of

it forever.

Cheers!

Maansi

Chairperson BLC 19 2012-13

Vibrant team spirit!

It is evident in our day-to-day activities, our meetings, fellowships and the wide range of projects, fundraisers , publicity events, fellowship events that

our nineteeners bring to life with their passion and commitment.

It is the enthusiasm and dedication of the active circlers and tablers, and also the guidance of forever 19ers and 41ers… that has shaped our circle

success this year. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the friends who have once again worked so hard and have contributed

in yet another amazing year of circling.

I will begin first by expressing my deepest appreciation for the one person who has been the biggest support and guide throughout the year- one of the most

dependable and committed person I have had the pleasure to have worked with and who feels deeply for circling and its principles. That‟s my Secretary

Cr. Neha who has the attitude and substance of a genius. When I started this year I did not know her so well and I feel the luckiest person to have worked

with her so closely.. and to have gained a very good friend in the process.

Fundraising as we all know is one of the toughest nuts to crack, and this year I have a lot of people to thank for two successful fundraisers. To begin

with Cr. Shalini who was the heart and soul for the Valentines fundraiser from conceptualization, coordination and execution. She is a force to reckon

with once she has made up her mind. A support not just in fundraising but also in getting donations for Limb donation, dialysis and for getting

sponsors for Tarla Dalal fundraiser she has been a great help.

It‟s a special satisfaction when young circlers perform… and this year we have had amazing contributions from many. Starting with Cr. Tulsi, who

coordinated and organized the Tarla Dalal Fundraiser and was also the convener for Dialysis. With excellent execution and reporting skills, she was the

most important part of the fundraiser‟s success. Our newest inductee Cr. Princy – thanks to her for all the excitement and preciseness with which she

spearheaded 2 projects this year, helped with the fundraisers, participated in area Agms and in inter circle fellowships and for being the spark at all our

socials. Cr. Shrutha for organizing the wonderful fellowship – Make up workshop which has helped me and am sure others as well a lot!

19 has a very big responsibility, to manage and maintain our Community Development Centre ( CDC). Many thanks to Cr. Simi, for having fulfilled

this task perfectly and continually throughout the year.

Service and fellowship, one of the 2 most important aspects of circling. Here I would like to thank Cr. Prerna for being a great project convener. And very

special thanks to Cr. Swati who took up the Limb Donation and Dialysis Project this year and brought it to new heights. A silent and quite worker with

a generous heart. For Fellowship thanks to Cr. Sweta – an excellent convener with some innovative ideas and games. She hates to be in the limelight and

stays behind the scenes but she has worked wonders at organizing fellowships right from the Goa AGM till the final sleepover night.

And now for a very special acknowledgement, to a circler who I have plagued with calls, sms‟s and whatsapps throughout the year. Someone who never says

no, always there to help and guide.. with maximum projects attended this year, helped with all aspects of circling, thanks a lot Cr. Smita Chopra

without whose guidance and support the sail through the year would have been a lot more choppier.

I would like to thank my IPC Kavitha for all her guidance and experience throughout the year, to Vice chairperson Cr. Swapna who was always there to

call and let me know of new ideas and suggestions and helped throughout the year in all activities and Cr. Nidhi for the immaculate accounting that

resulted in a smooth account closure meeting this year.

A special thanks to all conveners- Cr. Roopa for excellently executing the Knights in Khaki, Cr. Jyoti for all the creativity and hard work she has put in

this year and Cr. Goldy for the many twinkler activities this year and Cr. Soniya for her creative help.. Thanks also to all the circlers for their

participation and support –Circlers Neelima, Shilpa, Smitha, Sushma, Tina and HC Selvi.

BRT 7 tablers have been a great support this year as in every year. My special thanks to Tr. Himanshu for help in publicity, Tr. Parshu for being

indispensable in our fundraisers, Tr. Rohit for his help with accounts and applications, Tr Anjanil for the fellowship at Horsely Hills and Tr. Sandeep

who was always proactive in his support for raising sponsorship and Tr Siddhu for this help wth the projects.

A very special thank you to forever 19ers Past LCI president Ashwini, Ranju, Usha, Sirini, Rachna and Kavitha Khemka for always supporting in all our

activities. A thank you to 41ers Sridhar for help in getting us sponsorships and Gopal for being a guide and friend and a great support in raising

donations for our projects.

And finally a special thanks to BRT 7 chairman Tr. Aditya for being a great counterpart, with an attitude of adventure and fun, with great ideas and a

genuine heart. Table and circle collaboration was great this year under him.

I would also like to mention all my fellow chairpersons and conveners of Area 6 and national board. Thanks ladies for all your help.

Thank you all for taking out time from your busy schedules, for putting in your contributions and making this year memorable

Most Sincerely,

Maansi

This Centre is the pride and joy of our table and circle. What started off as a library with books collected from our home, it now has becomes a self-sustainable centre which has a separate fund for itself. The various classes and activities which are held at the centre at a very subsidized rate for the the local community include: Learning Tree Library

Various Classes

It took 7 chairman and 12 chairpersons to get CDC to where it is today through raising funds and helping the centre grow. BLC19 has now taken over the handling and managing of the community centre. A lot of 19ers have worked to get this community centre to where it is especially a special mention for Cr. Usha

The biggest Strength of Bangalore Ladies Circle 19 is the ever sparkling team spirit and the

togetherness and ownership with which we work. A group of women very diverse- some who are

creative, extroverts, introverts, fashionistas, tomboys, competitive. We are each very different and

yet come together brilliantly to achieve the ultimate collaboration. We interact informally to put in our

viewpoint, have great and healthy discussions and think beyond to bring new perspectives. We also

challenge each other’s opinions and play devil’s advocate, but all done in a very constructive manner.

One challenge we face as a circle is the distance, with members living 1.5 hours away from each other.

I would say in spite of that we have an average attendance 60% and look forward to improve it

further in coming years.

Cirling this year was very interesting, lots of fun,

meaningful and very productive year, great bonding, and

fabulous fellowship. Cheers!

Cr. Swapna

Well it has just been a fun filled year with lots of

bonding and friendship. We did everything like a big fat

Indian family “all for one and one for all” Had an

awesome time

Cr. Soniya

With bonding being the core mantra this year, I really got to

bond well with fellow circlers and truly felt at home. A big

kudos to the entire team for a fantastic circling year

Cr. Tulsi

Our circle isn‟t just a community project. We have fun all

nighters, days working in the hot sun, trips that bond us,

stories that leak, more fashion than a red carpet. We are a

circle of sisters

Cr. Goldy

A year of fun friendship and bonding! We played like a

team and did things together. Another super innings of

lc19. Congratulations and cheers girls

Cr. Smita

An electrifying kick-off at Goa and thru the year some

passionate fundraisers, heart warming projects, amazing

fellowships, the year has been truly full of merry making

and cheer

Hon Cr Selvi

A Chilled out year with fantastic laid back super

coordination between fellowships-projects-fundraising!!

Really well organized

Cr Shalini

Bang, Bang, Bang… from start till the end! This is

exactly how the circling year was

Cr. Nidhi

Its been an eventful circling year with a personal touch!

Cr. Neelima

The fulfilled year with lots of projects

Cr Swati

Very fond memories of the year gone by started with a bang,

enjoyed loads of bonding and fun… the highlight was the

discovery of awesome hidden talents amongst old and new

circlers.

Cr. Simi

The year gone by has been complete. Projects, meetings,

events & fellowship have all been slotted, completed &

enjoyed by one & all. Here‟sto a most fulfilling year

Cr. Roopa

Circling was a super hit Bollywood film for me this year

with a little of everything. I enjoyed every bit of it, the

splashing kick start from Goa, the warm house hostings, the

projects, the glamour, gossip, cooking. Arguments,

frustration, fun, bonding, celebrations, disappointments it

was a splendid roller coaster ride that I look forward to

riding again

Cr Prerna

What can I say! It‟s been a year full of all things

beautiful. A balance between parties, fundraisers,

meetings and camping! I have learnt a lot and have a

great deal more to learn. I am so glad that Ankit and

me have become part of this big family.

Cr. Princy

Circling.... for me this year was a lot more interestingly

interactive.... being on Area board as an Area Publicity

Convener, got an opportunity to keep in touch with all the

Chairpersons and many Circlers of other Circles as well and

my dear home Circle was not too far off. The tremendous

support received from all 19ers for my tenure in the Area

board will always stay close to my heart. Loved the fresh zeal

and enthusiasm of all the 19ers headed by the coolest

Chairperson for another awesome cool year

Cr Kavitha

Another fun year has passed by with added feathers

on the ever growing cap of BLC19.. hats off to the

team for ensuring that the whole year was a big

party!

Cr. Shilpa

The year commenced in Goa with fellowship & bonding

being at its level best! The momentum continued with

projects and fellowship going hand in hand. All in

all, it was a very fruitful, fun-filled & eventful

circling year

Cr. Smita Sachin

All the best to incoming Secy Prerna, am sure you shall do a rocking job,

and incoming CP Swapna am looking forward to another path breaking

year.

Dear Friends

It’s been an amazing year, and I am awed to see how much I have

learned over the last 12 months. It’s truly been a pleasure being a

Secretary in Maansi’s year, that lady is a storehouse of surprises , sitting

with her is like opening Pandora’s box, you just don’t know what to expect

next. And she gives new meaning to the word ‘multi-tasking’, I could

barely keep up with her but I really learnt a lot from her.

But that is the beauty of circling, in our circle alone, we have such

diverse personalities and there is so much that we end up learning and

taking from one another. One may be a fashion diva, another a

marketing guru., one may be someone extremely creative and the other

an exemplary homemaker and we all complement each other so well. Most

importantly we end up making some amazing friends.

I have always enjoyed being a circler, but it definitely is something

different when you are on the head board, you just become so much more

aware of different aspects of circling. You realize the intricacies with

which this organization has been formed and how much of an impact we

can make.

One of the most beautiful aspects that I have learned about circling is

that you should never be afraid to ask especially when you are asking for

something for the community and not for yourself. Through Phone calls

and whatsapp we are able to raise funds for emergency heart operations,

cleft operations or to help out in a disaster hit area just within a time

span of a few hours.

I also want to say Hats off to the NEX especially to NP Ramya, NS Namrata

and IT convener Prajakta, you all have truly taken LC India to the next

level, MOMci is a revolutionary step for circling and a big boon to those

who shall take up the post of secretaries in the years to come.

All the best to incoming Secy Prerna, am sure you shall do a rocking job,

and incoming CP Swapna am looking forward to another path breaking

year.

Love Always – Neha

Secretary BLC 19 2012 -2013

…. And another year begins…
