The moment when I learned of my nomination to be president of Rotary
International was one of the most exciting and joyful moments of my life. I
think this is true for every RI president and for everyone who is elected to a
Rotary office for the first time. There is a feeling of great happiness, great
honour, and great anticipation. There is also as understanding that your life
will never be the same again. In the long term, I know I will be forever
changed by the experiences I will have as president. And in the short term, I
know that the responsibilities that I face, now and in the year ahead, will be
unlike any I have faced before.
My sincere thanks to all the Rotarians for reposing immense confidence in me to
lead our Team 2980 in the year 2008 – 09. With your involvement and support, we
should definitely make it a wonderful Rotary year.
I would like to stress here that we should put in an earnest attempt to
translate the dreams of our RI President D.K. Lee into a reality. Emphasis is
laid on prevention of child mortality and personal hygiene. On our part at the
district level we have already mooted the idea of “Safe Drinking Water plant”
for the school children. This is one of the special dream projects which we
should accomplish together at any cost.
