Warm Greetings and Namaste from Nepal !

First of all my sincere gratitude goes to International service

Directors of both the club for initiating the friendship and coming

out with the idea of Joint-Bulletin which is aimed for building vibrant

relationship among two clubs.

Rotaract is all about fellowship, service and building networks. So as

to extend the network, the Rotaract club of Kathmandu Mid-Town

would expect lot of sharing and learning via RAC Thane Central in upcoming days. So,

let us take this joint bulletin as an ice-breaking to our expected exciting connection of

future.

Thane Central and would like to wish them a successful year ahead.

Message from President (RAC Thane Central)

Warm Rotaract Greetings from RID 3140!

You see there are a lot of relationships we make throughout

our lifetime, but we only realise some of them as important

enough to cling onto.

We all have our facebook friends, and those social ties have

their own space. We all have our school friends, colony

friends and those community ties mean something. But when

we make Service Ties those are the ones that are the most

special! When you are bonded through service.

The way to help society is through these ties of “Friendship” To work together as one

like a “We” instead of a “Me”. We at the Rotaract Club of Thane Central firmly feel

that the community should benefit from our presence and international partnerships

will help us discover & soar newer horizons!

Hoping for a great Rotaract year 12-13 with the forging of newer & stronger bonds as

one team! All For One & One For All!

Message from International Service

Director of RAC

Kathmandu Mid-Town

Dear Rotaractors,

When this Rota Year began, as

an International Service

Director, I was trusted with a

huge responsibility of linking my club with the

International Rotaract clubs of the RI Family.

When I got an opportunity to learn about Rotaract

club of Thane central via Rtr. Indraneel, my

happiness knew no boundaries because I knew that

we met another Rotaract club which has been

carrying the spirit of “Fellowship through

Service”, the same spirit which Rotaract club of

Kathmandu Mid-Town has been carrying out since

our charter days. I knew that we had found

another Rotaract club with whom we can establish

a long lasting and wonderful friendship ahead this

year and many more years to come ahead.

On this wonderful occasion of Friendship day, I

wish you a very happy friendship day and hope

that the bond of friendship which we have

established will grow stronger and stronger.

Message from International Service

Director of RAC Thane

Central

First of all I would like to this

opportunity to congratulate RC

KATHMANDU MIDTOWN and

RC THANE CENTRAL on the

beginning of a wonderful

partnership together!

Personally I have always been keen to understand

the culture, art and language of the people of

Nepal. As neighbours, our countries have always

shared a great relation which goes with Rotary’s

ideology of promoting understanding and peace.

Kathmandu for years together has enabled a

fusion of artistic and architectural traditions of

other countries to be amalgamated with local

architectural and artistic culture. Its sculptures,

pagodas, stupas and palace buildings are a sight to

behold! To be associated with such a distinguished

club is a matter of great pride for us!

I am sure our association would promote greater

understanding of each other’s cultures in our

members! Cheers!

Message from Editor of RAC Thane

Central

Warm Rotaract Greetings

from Rotaract Club Of

Thane Central, RID 3140!

Maintaining international

relations is one of the

pillars of the rotary

movement. Exchange of

culture, language, promotes peace and better

understanding among nations. Rotaract does its

own bit to celebrate this feeling by joining two

clubs together as twins. This is not merely

restricted to signing of the agreement and

conducting projects together. It goes far beyond,

in that, we make friends from all around the

world. And, we surely make them for life!

Looking forward to forging new friendships with

the members of RAC Kathmandu Midtown and RID

3292.

Yours-in-Rotaract,
