My Friends in Rotary,
I have great things to share with you all. November is Foundation month in Rotary world. Our district’s total TRF giving crossed $500000 and Annual Fund Donations touched the figure of $ 3.8 lacs in last moth. This is all time high collections till November. I congratulate you all the Rotarians of RI District 3131 for achieving this. Another big news of Foundation month was Fund raiser event, “RD Burman Musical Event”. This event for Polio funds was kicked off on 25th November and was a houseful event. RCP Camp was the main host for the event and total of 41 clubs contributed to the Polio Funds. TRF Seminar hosted by RC Pimpri concluded on a high note at Mariglod Banquets on 30th November. It was a fitting culmination to the Foundation month. RIDE AKS Rtn.Er Muruganandam M was chief guest for the seminar.
