DG Rtn Muthu Palaniappan presided over the meeting. The president announced the theme of the year 2020-21 that is “Joy of Giving” by aptly stating that “the greatest joy of giving is to share the joy to others”. Our Installation virtual handover was one of its kind in our district with a professional touch , hi-end graphics, and crisp presentation. An array of RI directors, PDGs ,District officers from various districts, international guests and rotarians from various sister clubs were part of the function.RI Director Bharat Pandya and PDGs from around the world spoke high about our club and motivated us to surpass our previous achievements. DG Muthu, the chief guest, addressed the gathering, motivated everyone of us and wished us success for a wonderful rotary year 20-21. Total attendance 484 (384 on Zoom and 100 on youtube live at the time of installation ) 2 Regular 12 July 2020 Rtn Dr. Vishnu Srinivas and Ann Malli Srinivas 48 49.48 were the hosts for the first fireside meeting.The key moderators for the event were Rtns Shabir Kothari & V. K. Midha who brought in lightness and many laughs during the program. The evening was made special by a hindi duet sung by the hosts, and the memories recalled by Ann Malli about her father, A.C. Tirulokchander, a well-known film director in the 1960s. The idea of fireside meetings is to engage members to visit the homes of host members, albeit virtually during this COVID period, to know about the rotarians family, their life, their journey and their interests. While during real fireside meetings the host would be able to accommodate only a few members to their home, virtual meetings made way for unlimited invitees. Page 1 of 5 3 Regular 15 July 2020 Sarvesh Shashi was the guest speaker and he 52 53.61 spoke on the journey of a modern yogi and the pursuit of one's happiness. Shashi aims to make yoga-based wellness a part of modern lifestyle to combat stress, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and obesity. He lives by five vows: No lying, no physical and mental stealing, no intoxication, non-violence and celibacy. New segments called "Flashback memories" and "Know your club" were introduced as part of regular meetings. Rtn Midha shared flashback memories from his presidentship tenure and Rtn V Sridhar let us know about one of the signature projects of RCG- The Alathur Hospital, which was built at a cost of Rs. 10 lakhs, in a joint effort with the NGO 'Udhavum Nanbargal'.The hospital caters to the needs of more than 27 villages since 2014. 4 Regular 19 July 2020 Noted Chef Mallika Badrinath was the speaker of 20 20.62 a 6-club joint meeting "Arokya kitchen". The chef shared with us her recipe for a healthy chana salad and answered questions from the participants. The chef advised us to eat a diet with "ARUSUVAI" in it and advised us to eat healthy and stay fit. She also answered many questions from the participants of our club. All the rotarians , anns and annets were thrilled to watch this programme. "EAT HEALTHY AND STAY HEALTHY" 5 Regular 19 July 2020 The member's corner is a new initiative from the 40 41.24 vocational service front which tends to highlight achievements or interests of the members of the RCG family. The first members' corner with 40+ participants showcased Rtn Naresh Kumar's tandem cycle expedition from Chennai, India to Hamburg, Germany. This trip which lasted 87 days covered 5500 miles spread over 2 continents and 13 countries. The tandem cycle expedition was an effort to spread awareness of human trafficking and slavery. The back seat of the tandem cycle with no steering or brakes became an apt metaphor for the fate of those exploited and trafficked, of having lost complete control over their freedom, only that their fate is worse. He also recalled many of his experiences from the trip. With only 2 of the 13 countries he cycled through speaking English, he shared how he was able to make a connection with all the people with the universal languages of vulnerability, love and humanity. He mentioned about the hospitality he received wherever he went, with special mentions about the kindness he received in Iran and the hospitality of an 84-year-old man in Turkey. Page 2 of 5 6 Regular 19 July 2020 Rtn Dr Anuradha and her spouse Dr. Britto 25 25.77 hosted the second fireside meeting over zoom. The meeting was moderated by Rtn Sathya who evoked hilarious answers from the hosts by his funny questioning. The evening was made special when Dr. Anuradha revealed her love for art and sketching. When she was asked to show her skill, she immediately came forward and did a beautiful inverse sketch of Bruce Lee within 1.5 minutes and amazed the members. The couple's talented children who could sing, dance or play the keyboard were also taught to cook and take care of the household from their age of six. The efforts came handy when Dr. Anu had to be on bed rest for 3-4 weeks following a leg injury, and the kids took it upon themselves to ccok and run the house. Astounding it was, really! 7 Regular 22 July 2020 Mr Muralidharan was the guest speaker for the 58 59.79 second speaker meeting. The guest speaker spoke about the importance of succession planning, especially in a family business. He addressed how a smooth, clear succession plan will help our children and family to step in and gel with our business without any delay or interruption when the day comes. Rtn Jagannath shared memories from his presidentship tenure in the flashback memories segment and how RCG back then was more about the bonding between members and taking up small projects. Rtn Venugopal, in the "Know Your Club" segment, let us know about the HOINA project of RCG, a destitute home at Thinnanur, which though started off in a small way, became a major project for RCG for the following years until it had to be shifted to Andhra Pradesh due to unavoidable reasons. 8 Regular 26 July 2020 Rtn Dr Anuradha was the chairman of the event 40 41.24 "Allegra". It was an event which involved the RCGians, anns and annettes too, what with the Chairman's kids organising "Zoom-It", a contest where the participants had to identify zoomed up pics of things that we come across in our day-to-day life. Rtn Sathya's Brain teasers teased the participants' minds endlessly. Movie-Find By Rtn Radha, where-in the RCG family had to guess the name of the movie with clues regarding the artists/ plot/ characters given. Rtn Kritika Madhu conducted a musical antakshari and made everyone sing to her tunes. All-in-all a fun-filled evening with lots of smiles and memories galore. Page 3 of 5 9 Regular 26 July 2020 In the second members' corner, Ann Manjula, 40 41.24 wife of Rtn Prabhu VL, explained about the famous tamil historical novel, Kalki Krishnamurthy's " Ponniyin selvan". She explained about the history of great king Raja Raja Chola, and how a Tamil emperor expanded to rule an entire part of the Asian sub-continent. She touched on the sea-faring abilities of Rajendra Cholan and how it was because of the valour of the Gangai Konda Cholan, Rajendra I that the exploits of the Mohammed of Ghazni came to an end. Along with the Chola family tree, Ann Manjula also expertly referred to various other novels like "Udayar" and "Sangadhara" and let us know of the tales that happened after Raja Raja Chola's construction of the Brihadeeswara temple. It was an interesting and knowledgeable session that attracted debates on the history and the valour of the ancient Tamils. 10 Regular 28 July 2020 10 clubs were part of the event - ROTABUS.
