REFLECTIONS 2011

Rotaract District 3010 completed six months of this Rotaract year. Its was a

time to celebrate our achievements and review our future plans for the

upcoming months.

District conference is a perfect opportunity not only to meet fellow

rotaractors from all over the district once again and share your visions , but

also enhance your bonding of friendship with each other. The event is

believed to have an indispensible share on the Rotaract calendar, as it is truly

an embodiment of reflection. It is about reflecting upon the changes that have

been instilled until now during the tenure of the current DRR. It marks an

opportunity to ponder over the developments which were planned at the

installation of the DRR.

"REFLECTIONS" ,the Mid-year District Conference 2010-11 was held on

12th February at Riverside Club Mayur Vihar-I. The event began with the

felicitation of experienced Rotarians and Rotaractors. The occasion was

graced by the presence of Rtrn. Ajay Narayan(Director, New Generation),

Rtrn. G.S. Bansal, Dr. Tejinder Singh, Rtr. Manik Gupta(DRR), Rtr. Vir

Philip(DRR Elect), Rtr. Prateek Ahuja(District Secretary) and Rtr. Siddharth

Gupta(DRR Nominee for the year 2012-13).

There was an open Question-Answer session as well; where Rtrn. Ajay

Narayan, Director of „New Generation‟ Organisation addressed a plethora of

issues faced by the rotaractors within the clubs and welcomed their

suggestions with open hearts.

Rtn.Tejinder Singh from the Rotary Blood Bank also presented a short

movie on Thalassemia awareness.

The occasion was not only constrained to discussions. There was a cultural

extravaganza as well, where the rotaractors from Rotaract clubs of ASET,

Biijwasan and IILM, Noida gave splendid performances. Later, they were

lauded for their spirits to pluck up the courage to perform. After this, a JAM

session made the event even more lively, where all the people swayed to the

music, as one big family.

The highlights of the event were:

Presentation of the work done in district in past 6 months by

DRR Rtr.Manik Gupta: All events undertaken by the District

and plans for the future were illustrated.

Review of Club performances: The clubs with the best

performances were applauded while those lagging were told to

From The DRR’s Desk

Dear Friends,

Warm Rotaract Greetings!!

First of all I want to acknowledge all clubs for participating in the District

Conference 2010 – REFLECTIONS. Your participation in district events ,

shows your passion towards the Rotaract Movement. It gives you a chance

not only to meet and know about the activities of the fellow friends from

other clubs in the district but also a platform to showcase your talent. My

special thanks to rotaractors who performed and showcased their talent on

stage. Rotaract being a program consisting of people below 30 years of age ,

its not easy to sponsor an event like this. District really appreciates Rotaract

Club of Dadri City and Rotaract Club of Pilkhuwa who sponsored and made

this event happen.

Clubs like Delhi South , Dadri city , Vivek , Noida who have been

religiously participating in the Polio Ravivar camps needs special

recognition for outstanding service to the society. We all must work towards

the Eradication of Polio and participate in Polio camps in underprivileged

sections of the society and not only vaccinate but also educate them of this

dreadful disease.

Last but not the least , Wish you all a very Happy Holi. This Holi , spread

the colors of your life among the underprivileged section of the society.

Best of Luck!!

MONTHLY MOSAIC

Foundation sets up disaster fund for Japan By Ryan Hyland

Rotary International News -- 15 March 2011

In response to the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on 11

March, The Rotary Foundation has established the Rotary Japan and Pacific

Islands Disaster Fund, which will support long-term recovery projects in

affected areas.

Rotarians and non-Rotarians can donate online. Clubs and districts can

contribute cash and District Designated Fund (DDF) allocations to the fund.

The 9.0-magnitude quake, Japan's largest in history, and the tsunami that

followed it caused widespread devastation, paralyzing much of the northern

coast. More than 10,000 people have been killed, and thousands are missing.

Millions have been left without clean water or power, and at least 550,000

people have been forced from their homes.

A series of explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, 140

miles northeast of Tokyo, damaged reactors and forced the evacuation of

tens of thousands. The Japanese government is working to contain the

situation. Damage from the earthquake and tsunami is estimated at US$170

billion.

RI President-nominee Sakuji Tanaka, of the Rotary Club of Yashio, Saitama,

was in Lisbon, Portugal, on Rotary business during the disasters. He was

able to reach his wife, Kyoko, on the phone to confirm her safety.

"She said it was the most horrifying experience she'd ever had," says Tanaka.

"The northern region of Japan is still in chaos. We are unsure when this

chaos will end or when things will get better. However, I am most thankful to

know that Rotarians around the world care for us."

Japanese RI directors Masaomi Kondo and Masahiro Kuroda, as well as staff

at Rotary International's Japan office, are confirmed to be safe.

Rotary clubs and districts worldwide are mobilizing efforts to bring urgently

needed aid to victims.

"I've received many messages from Rotarians all over the world," says Noriko

Futagami, the Public Image Resource Group coordinator for Zone 2. "I also

have reports that Rotary clubs have begun to start planning projects for

immediate help. Unfortunately, there are many Rotarians and families who

haven't been able to be contacted. Rotarians in Japan worry for their safety."

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract
