Service Above Self! The most impactful tagline shapes my Rotary journey!

Joined Rotary Club Pune Camp in 2021. I learned many things but the presidential year 2023-2024 gave me my own identity, helping me realize my own potential and become aware of community needs. 

I am thankful to all the club members for their support. I am thankful to all my cop mates for their synergy and guidance. I am thankful to district teams, caring AG Phiroze Masters and DRT Rtn Neeraj Mehta for their hand-holding throughout the year. 

The most important person, DG Manjoo, has created a great impression, always supporting and available for any query. Her actions provide motivation to achieve more, whether in big projects, vibrant meetings or distinguished events. She seems to have many hands, streamlining everything perfectly. 

One day, early in the morning, I received a message on the Pune Camp club group that one of the Rotarians' younger brother had met with an accident and was looking for a reference at Sancheti Hospital. I immediately thought of Dr. Sameer Dolare for help and the way Dr. Sameer and Madhur Dolare coordinated and supported the patient was amazing. 

Not only were the patients treated well, but the new couple members, Rtn Jahir and Rtn Dr. Nishat Siddiqui, were connected to Rotary for life. That's the power of Rotary! It connects every dot beyond caste, creed, color, gender, religion, geography and makes it a uniform garland for the almighty God.
