legacy
P
aul Harris was born in Racine,
Wisconsin, USA. He attended
Princeton University, the
University of Vermont, and the
University of Iowa. For the next
five years he did odd jobs for a
newspaper as a salesman and a
reporter and he worked on fruit
farms. In the year 1896 he began
his law practice in Chicago. In the
year 1905, Harris organised the
first Rotary Club ‘in fellowship and
friendship”. His initial goal was to
Rotary Global History Fellowship
create a club for friendship and
fellowship among professionals and
businessmen. He was a visionary
and always wanted to contribute as
much as he could towards society
and mankind.
Paul Harris soon realised that
Rotary needed a greater cause.
While Harris served as President of
the Chicago Rotary Club in 1907,
the Club initiated its first public
service project, the construction
of public toilets in Chicago. This
step transformed Rotary into the
world’s first Service Club. Due to
his ambition, determination and
single-minded focus, new clubs
were established very early in the
organisation’s history. Earlier clubs
were established only in the west
coast. However gradually they
emerged in other parts of USA and
Europe as well.
Paul Harris Society members
make a commitment to contribute
$1000 each year to the Annual
Program Fund.
Paul Harris and the Rotary Clubs
founded by him aimed at improving
the quality of human life in
particular. They also tackled issues
like health care, clean water, food,
education and other essential needs
for the basic survival of human
Individuals who have contributed
more than $1000 to the Annual
Program Fund, the Polio Plus Fund
or the Humanitarian Grants Program
of the Rotary Foundation are
recognized as Paul Harris Fellows.
A Paul Harris Fellow receives a
special certificate and a gold pin.
beings. Each year 1,200 students
are provided scholarships due to
Rotary’s educational programme.
Also, former participants get an
opportunity to keep themselves
affiliated with the Club as Rotary
alumni. This gives them a chance
to actually remain connected to the
Club and its activities.
The main goal of the Club is to
enable Rotarians to work toward
the development of society. The
foundation is basically a non-profit
organisation and the backbone of
Rotary is the volunteers who render
free service to society.
Paul Harris has not only changed
the concept of conventional clubs
that only perform activities for pure
entertainment and leisure but has
also taught people how they can all
come together and do something
for the benefit of others.

A Rotary Family in Narasimharajapura
During my travel last week, I was in a town called Narasimharajapura in Chikmagalur district, Karnataka. On Tuesday,
4 November 2014, I enquired about the local Rotary meetings with my host who contacted the Office Bearers at the
Rotary Club of Narasimharajapura. Since I had attended their Club meeting about five years ago, I remembered that
they usually meet on Saturdays.
With the above enquiry, the Office
Bearers came to the place where I
was residing. I briefed them about our
current projects being taken up under
Club Service Avenue. They greeted me
with a traditional sandalwood garland
and a wooden memento with their
names in the Kannad language.
It was very nice of the following Office
bearers who came to visit me::
1) Rtn H.T. Rajendra - President
2) Rtn. N.T. Seshachala - Secretary
3) Rtn. B.V. Upendra- Director - Club
Service
4) Rtn. S.S. Shatha Kumar - Zonal

Important Changes in ROTARY INTERNATIONAL Post CoL 2013
R
epresentatives from Rotary’s 532 districts met in downtown Chicago on April 21-26, 2013, approving a
number of measures designed to strengthen Rotary, increase membership, and enhance the organisation’s
capacity to serve. The Council on Legislation (CoL) meets every three years to consider changes to the policies
that govern Rotary International and its member clubs. This year’s Council accepted an increase of US$1 per year
in per capita dues, removed limits on E-clubs, permitted satellite clubs, and changed the name of the fifth Avenue
of Service to “Youth Service.”
a. An increase in dues means Rotary Clubs will pay
Rotary International annual per capita dues of $54 in
2014-15, $55 in 2015-16, and $56 in 2016-17.
b. Districts are allowed to have more than two E-clubs.
The 2010 Council made E-clubs, which meet
electronically, a permanent part of Rotary.
c. Approved satellite clubs, whose members meet at a
different time and location from their parent club, but
are still considered members of the parent club. This
measure is intended to make it easier for members to
develop the core for a new club.
d. It was also approved to change the name of Rotary’s
fifth Avenue of Service, currently called “New
Generations Service” to “Youth Service”.
e. A measure allowing participation in club projects
to count towards club attendance was also
approved. The measure amends the Standard
Rotary Club Constitution to require that a member
attends or makes up at least 50 per cent of regular
club meetings or engages in club projects for at
least 12 hours every six months, or a combination
of both.
f. A measure creating the office of Vice Governor,
who would act as a substitute if the Governor
became unable to serve was also approved. The
Vice Governor would be selected by the district’s
nominating committee from among the district’s
past governors.
know your rotarian
Rtn Sucharita Hegde
I
I have the good fortune of knowing both Rtn
Sucharita and her late husband, Rtn Ram Hegde. I
could count them as some of the finest people I have
known Among the many outstanding qualities Ram
so obviously had, his sense of humour and affability
was indeed unique making him bond with people so
effortlessly.
I had worked with Ram on a few Rotary Committees
like Rotractor / Career Guidance, etc. and saw the
sheer dedication and depth he lent to whatever he
was associated with. Ram also made a big difference
and contribution to our Mid-Town Bulletin then called
Musings as he was Committee Chairman. He made it
so much more interesting and interactive.
While I knew Sucharita back then, I have gotten to know her
better over the years, more so after she became a Rotarian.
I am indeed impressed, and I’m sure everyone
would think likewise—Sucharita is truly sincere and
serious about any activity that she takes up and gives
it her very best.
She can multitask successfully with great leadership
and management skills. From being MD of Fouress
Engineering to running an NGO and Magazine One India
One People Foundation, she does it all. She contributes
purposefully to organisations like the Indus International
and our very own Rotary Club of Bombay Mid-Town.
She also loves travelling and socialising, and most of all,
spending time with family and friends.
High on the spiritual and cultural quest, Rtn Sucharita
Hegde is associated with the Chinmaya Mission. She
is a talented and accomplished Indian classical singer
and a classically trained dancer. She has given dance
performances and has acted in plays as well.
We have all enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of
Ram and Sucharita. I have had the pleasure of being
hosted at their beautiful home with a family of foodies
ensuring guests are well looked after with healthy meals,
innovative menus, special ingredients and minimal oil.
– Rtn Prasanna Bhagat
Rtn Sucharita is indeed a role model whom we are proud to have in RCBMT.
Now lets all get to know Sucharita a little better with my rapid fire round.

Members of the IWC at the medical camp at SL&SS Girls School
W
hile we kept our focus
on girl child education and
women
empowerment,
we have done various projects
during the last two months, many
are still ongoing.
At the camp, we also felicitated
three SSC toppers of the school to
inspire other students to perform
well. We sponsored education of six
girls through National Sponsorship
Council (NSC).
We held our annual medical camp
at SL & SS Girls School, where
about 150 girls underwent general
check-up for eyes, ears, nose
and throat (ENT), skin, dental
and gynaecological issues. Their
blood test was also done to check
anaemia. We are thankful to our
Rotararians Dr Anil Tibrewala and
Dr Kirit Mody and R/Ann Pratibha
Doshi who not only examined
the students but also organised
other doctors and residents.
To empower village women to
start their own endeavours, we
have provided microfinance to six
ladies in Panvel through Chakshu
Foundation of Urmila and Nirbhay
Jain. At Kamla Mehta School for the
Blind, a Brailler was donated costing
R35,000.
Many of our members donated
money and also volunteered in the
project. This medical camp is not
just a once-a-year event, but there
is regular weekly follow-up done
throughout the year by our devoted
PP Usha Aggarwal along with
Dr Pratibha and Dr Shashi Bakre.
At
NASEOH,
a
wheelchair
costing R11,000 was donated.
At Tata Memorial Hospital for
Cancer, R5,000 was donated. At
Masker Mother and Child Cancer
Hospice, R18,000 was donated
for computers in the waiting room
to entertain children while they are
waiting for their turn.
In the District project, we donated
R10,000 for cow fodder to
Kushtarog Niwaran Samiti. These

Once again, we acknowledge and
appreciate our Rotary friends Rajiv Kapur
and Dr Anil Tibrewala and their friend Dr
Dilip Nadkarni for their beautiful soulful

On October 16, we organised Diwali
celebrations for old people at JJ
Dharamshala. While we distributed
snack boxes, sugar, biscuits, apples,
face napkins, soap, cakes and
powder to about 60 inmates, the
highlight of the programme was a
one-and-a-half-hour programme of
golden melodies which enthralled
them.
Some of them spontaneously came
up to dance with the music.

our attendance at

interesting fellowships”
We are happy that the attendance at
our monthly meetings is more than
50 members, thanks to good venues,
short
meetings
and
interesting
fellowships, talks and demos. In the
August meeting, our guest speaker, Sonali
Sachdev, was introduced by Dipika Amin,
an actor by choice and an orthodontist by
qualification. A pleasant personality with
charming demeanour, Sonali spoke about
‘Life before a camera’. She has acted in
the famous play Vagina Monologues and
TV serials Sanskar and Baa, Bahu aur
Baby. She also did a role in movie Taare
Zameen Par.
At the September meeting our members
watched with interest a block-printing
demo given by our member Sulochana
Sachdev. All our members came in
colourful clothes in keeping with the
Diwali mood. They performed Garba,
not only on traditional songs but on
old Bollywood songs as well. It was
great fun!
Our members participated in the District
Rally in September 2014 and our
Zone I won the first prize for the power
yoga. We were trained by our members
Bijal Doshi and Geeta Parekh. Sulochana
Sachdev took part in a dance item.
Ashok Mehta walked the ramp with other
winners of Fitness Queen from Zone I.
President Jyotika appealed to the
younger members to come forward to
take up posts for the next year.

spirit of service
S
ervice is the work involving the use of head, heart and hands for the welfare of others, irrespective of their
status, caste or creed. It relieves the economically underprivileged through personal commitment to selfless
service. It contributes to the works of development through physical labour.
Service explores the potential lying dormant within a person through education. Service is concerned with the needs
of others. It offers ample opportunities for the development of one’s character and personality. Service prompts us to
give selflessly without expecting anything in return.
Rotary professes to this service which can only be effective if it is done with the following five appendages:
The first appendage is Silent
Service. Service not by loud
proclamation of your work.
Do not confound service with
noise. A little noise to attract
the needy is acceptable, but the
main thrust should be on silent
service. I hope a day will come
when young men and women
in Rotary reduce ambition and
promote silent service. The sun,
the flowers, the clouds and the
air—all serve, but silently.
The fifth appendage is Spiritual
Service. I do not mean that
prayers or offerings to God
mean “spiritual” service. Our
souls must be stimulated by
the divine thought that we are
offering service to humanity
as our partner to God.
May God tinkle a bell in our
hearts and teach us to walk
the path of service and live a
life offering sacrifice, service
and sympathy.
The fourth appendage is
Sacrificial Service. Unless
you sacrifice something—
your time, money and other
priorities, your service is not
complete. Your time and
your personal participation
are more valuable than your
money. Yes, money we need
but by merely doling out
some coins or notes, you are
unfaithful to service and thus,
unfaithful to God.
FIVE APPENDAGES OF SERVICE
The second appendage is Humble Service. Humility comes from
understanding that we are being given an opportunity to be of help to
someone. A delivery boy came out of a shop, carrying heavy load of
parcels stacked on a cart and started towards his destination, which
was a house uphill. As he pushed the cart up the slope he was tired
and rested by the roadside when a stranger approached him and
helped him push the cart to the destination. When the boy reached
the gates of the house, he said “Thank you sir!” The stranger said, “It
is unfair for your boss to have given you this odious task.” The boy
replied “Sir, my boss told me that you will find a kind gentleman to
help you if you are too tired” Let this kind gentleman be a Rotarian
who is humble enough to assist the needy without any expectations.
The third appendage is
Compassionate
Service.
Love for the deprived must
be present at all times and
expressed frequently. Be a
loving giver. The men and
women you help are God’s
creatures and it is more
important to love them whilst
helping them. As you grow in
the spirit of compassionate
service, your circle of service
will widen.
– From Where I am, A View of Rotary
Please note that the previous issue of Mid-Town Bulletin (September 2014) featured Rtn Anil
Kejriwal and his wife Bina on the cover page. Therein, the Bulletin missed to note that Rtn Kejriwal
