My dear Rotract friends and Rotary family members,

Namaskar,

I am happy to share with you main theme and activities so far done by our Rotaract club. The main focus of
our club for this year would be 'towards Sustainability.' We believe in Robert Swan's quote which says 'The greatest
threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.' Under broad term sustainability we not only consider
sustainability in terms of nature but also in terms of health, education, standard of living, animals and the whole
economy. As true sustainable lifestyle will require changes on various aspects of living

We will be working as an Intercessor between NGOs and people who have rescued animals from roads. We will help
in finding safe places for their survival and living. We will also work for underprivileged children in whichever way
we can for example by making study charts and sending to them or their schools, we will also be volunteering to teach
them. E-waste management is another unique project we wish to do. We will be advertising home-composting basket
for wet waste management. We will also be doing tree plantation drives. Two most unique fund raising events that we
wish to bring about are "Cycling race" and "women's bike rally".

We wish to join all these dots and let everyone know us first by launching our website that we have already started
working on. We will be uploading and updating about all our incoming events on that website.

We conducted following activities till now:

 Our first project was blood donation camp in association with our parent club, RCTMT. It was supported by
Autoriksha drivers. We got opportunity to interact with them and know about their life.
 We visited a promotional event of cultural fest 2019 of B.N. Bandodkar college,Thane and appealed the
students to join our Rotaract club.

 On 23 August, the event named “Let’s Know Rotaract” was organized by our club with Rotatract Club of
Thane Town Wing. ZRR Mr. Suraj Bisoy and Rotaractors of other clubs also attended this event. Rotaractor
president of Rotaract Club of Thane Town Wing Ms. Karishma Pawaskar and president of our Rotaract club,
explained the interested members about how Rotaract works, how it benefits the individual Rotaract members
to develop their social skills and leading attitude, and also how it benefits the society.
st
 The meeting for August month was conducted at President’s house on 31 August on the occasion of her own
birthday. It was really a fun and also an official meeting, both. It is decided to launch our own website in the
month of September with very unique idea, which will be updated when we launch our website. There was
wonderful interactions to plan the projects to be done in this year. It was followed by cake cutting and birthday
celebration of President Chinmayee.
We are planning to have installation ceremony at around End-September, do join in large numbers.

We Rotaractors experienced a wonderful support from Rtn. Rajendra Zende sir, the president of our RCTMT club and
his team. I take this opportunity to thank our parent club for providing this platform for showcasing our activities.

Miss Chinmayee Nitin Kelkar
