MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT:
Rotary Club of Chennai Gemini was inaugurated in 2002. As its 20th President in the year 2020, I have great pride and privilege in heading this Club during this new normal situation. Even though I belong to the T20 team, I may be remembered as the President of the Club during the time of COVID 19. I totally understand that I will have many challenges to face. These challenges are to be converted into opportunities. We may have to follow many new strategies which will help in maintaining our bondage and help in fulfilling the Rotary motto of “Service above Self”. I have no doubt that with the support of all the Geminians, guided by the efficient and experience Board members; I will be able to fulfil the duties and responsibilities as President of this Prestigious Club. Together we can take our Club to newer heights.
In order to do various service projects regularly, I propose to create a Corpus Fund for Rotary Club of Chennai Gemini Charitable Trust. I wholeheartedly look forward to serve Rotary and humanity.
