September is the new generation's month. In this month we rededicate ourselves to help provide leadership opportunities for the new generation. We have done it in right earnest as this year is the maiden year of new generations as the fifth avenue of service. We had a well conducted unique and enjoyable ICGF on club service at Kanakapura in August. My congratulations to the president, ICGF chair & all the members of Rotary Kanakapura & District Director PP Rtn. HR Ananth.

Tanaka –RI President Elect 2012-13
First Lady Speak Dear Friends in Rotary, I accompanied the DG on his official visits to clubs. The affection, love and hospitality by Rotarians and spouses is exceptional and I am deeply touched. Although I hail from Kolar, I had no opportunity to visit temples and other places of interest in Kolar, and this got accomplished during the official visits to Kolar district clubs. It was very gratifying. I enjoyed the International nite organised by Rotary East and The Hockey tournament organised by Rotary Indiranagar. The fashion show organised by Rotary Southwest rounded off a month which took me on a journey from spiritual to the fashion world via Switzerland and also pumped up by sporting energy. Where else can you have such diverse pursuits passionately combined but in Rotary! Thank you Friends Yours in Rotary
