| Minutes of Meeting | The members of Rotary Club of Poona Downtown met on the terrace of the Poona Club Golf Club on the evening of 24th February 2024, for the International Nite. An annual event on the calendar of RCPD, the evening is hosted to felicitate the inbound students of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program who are residing in Pune. The RYE students were on stage next with a foot stomping medley of numbers from Bollywood, Punjabi pop and a Marathi favourite. Music and dance certainly cut across borders and languages as Gabi, Clara, Mariana, Valeria and Giovanna from Brazil and Mexico showed! Truly deserving of the cheers and applause they received. The RYE students were then called back on stage for a presentation of mementos from the Club by the President Rtn. Aruna. Antoine from France and Matheus from Brazil spoke of their experiences in India over the past few months and the memories they would be carrying back home. A celebratory cake was cut to commemorate the 119th anniversary of the founding of Rotary International in 1905. RI has indeed come a long way and touched thousands of hearts and lives since its establishment over a hundred years ago and we should all be proud to be a part of this organization. The evening ended with Fellowship with hot snacks enjoyed by all and a delicious dinner to follow. Indeed, an evening to remember a beautiful venue under a moonlit sky, pulsating beats and rhythmic dance moves and most importantly to see the Downtown family together keeping the spirit of Rotary and friendship alive! |
