Joint Project with Mr. Satrughan Sinha in Bihar by Round Table

Round Table is a non-political and non-sectarian organization offering young men between the ages of 18 and 40 the opportunity for serving their communities by encouraging high ethical standards in commercial life; by developing the acquaintance of men in all vocations and thereby a fuller understanding; and by stimulating individual interest in everything affecting public welfare. The local club termed as “Round Table” or simply “Table” is the most important unit in the movement. The individual members of each Table decide how they will serve their community. What the Table does depends on the problems and challenges, which its community presents. These range from providing civic amenities, vocational training, conducting blood donation drives and health camps, performing corrective surgery, sponsoring underprivileged children in educational institutions and homes, providing shelters for the needy and helping out during times of natural calamities and tragedies like floods etc. The Table alone determines the scope and limit of its activities. There is no pattern limiting this scope. It is said that the privileges of life are accompanied by equal obligations and it is a Round Table belief that they require effort and service in return. The community service performed by Round Tables is an instrument, which benefits both parties to the contract. Those who are helped are given an intimate friendly assistance. Those who help have the opportunity to give a return for the privileges they enjoy, not the least of which is their membership of Round Table.

A proud achievement of Round Table India is that, it is the highest per capita contributor towards projects at Rs. 50,000-00 per annum, possibly the highest amongst all service organization in India.

Round Tables and Ladies Circle of Ahmedabad in association with Indian Heart Foundation and Research Organization take the pleasure of inviting you to the “Public Appeal for Bihar Flood Relief” in the gracious presence of renowned Actor, MP and Social Activist Shri Shatrughan Sinha.
We are all aware of the devastating flood in Bihar and the havoc it caused to the residents. Round Table has been instrumental in Bihar relief work. It has set up a relief camp in Bihar, managed by the tablers of RTI. Tablers and Circlers from all over the country have managed to send medicines worth Rs. 100 Lacs, food items worth Rs. 200 Lacs, tons of clothes and other relifef material. There is need for more support.
Shri Shatrughan Sinha has been kind enough to visit various cities of Gujarat in association with Round Table India to gather support for the flood victims.

We request you to contribute a few moments from your valuable time and support the flood victims of Bihar by remaining present:

Date: September 23rd, 2008

Time: 03:00 PM Onwards

In service towards humanity

About 88888 initiative
This was an initiative taken by our table to promote the awareness about Global warming and fight against it by joining 88888 campaigns.

What is 88888?
We urged everyone to switch off lights for 8 minutes at 8 PM on 8th august 2008. We informed that Global warming is a real threat and all must act now. By this initiative we aimed following:
Building Awareness
Taking Individual responsibility for our surroundings
To be part of the solution
A feeling of togetherness amongst people when they all take a stand to arrest a common threat.

Impact of Global warming is far reaching and it is needed by all the acknowledge same. This effort was towards that

What our table did?

Our table printed the handouts in large numbers (10000). We circulated these pamphlets all round Pune at key places example: bills at Vaishali were accompanied by this, club solaris, Deccan, petrol pumps, societies in Kothrud and Aundh, Sopanbaug , tata sky customers etc...

Highlight of Publicity achieved:
A curtain raiser of this event was published on page 3 in Punes Newsline of Indian express of 6th August. The news also features Round table India achievements and will help us reach our cause to more people.

Actual Event
On that day, our tablers and ladies circulated the pamphlets from 7 Pm till 7 30 at key locations and we met after that at Autumn Service apartments and observed the lights out. During light out we resolved together to follow simple rules which can help fight global warming like putting off lights, not keeping devices in standby mode, using cycles, walking for short distances etc.

We also solicited support to our schools through publicity done.

More than 10000 pamphlets were distributed all around pune depicting our cause and schools etc. We had encouraging response and calls resulting from that exercise

Fellowship angle to the event
This was a good fun as everyone had a cause. We meet once or twice to plan to event. Print and circulate the pamphlets we distributed in Pune. By means of this we urged all to put off lights at 8 pm on 8th Aug 2008 for 8 minutes as awareness to fight against global warming. Two days all tablers took responsibility to distribute the pamphlets publicizing event and table activities. It was fun, with updates from all over Pune about score: the number of pamphlets distributed. Finally we all met that day at Chirag’s petrol pump on University Road. There we distributed to all. A great bonding…
After the event, few tablers had a late coffee session at Sanjay’s Place to discuss all.

Area3 1ST aex MEET
Report on the First AEX meeting @ Pune on 20th & 21st September
The year has started with a Bang!!! The first AEx meeting was less of a meeting and more of a fellowship and outbound for the Area Board Members of Area III
The entire Area Board Team along with their families assembled in Pune in the Morning of 20September Saturday. We quickly got fresh and moved on to Amby Valley Sahara city near Lonavala. It was an out of country experience. The place was beautiful, weather was amazing,raining on and off and the company was the best every possible Tablers!!!
We spent the day on the huge 10,000 Acres property, site seeing and enjoying and envying the lifestyle being offered. We finally landed playing at the India’s best Gold Course’s Driving Range. We all took our shots, the ladies tried their swings. Few of us were confused which game we were actually playing….cricket, tennis.We returned back to Pune in the evening and went to the a Social hosted by Pune RT15 which was at a lounge bar called “The Den”. It was a exciting place and we had some more fun, music, mischief and fellowship. The Chairman Tr. Sunil Punjabi conducted a crisp meeting.
The next day morning was the formal AEx meeting. All conveners gave their reports and sought suggestions on few of the events and programs they are planning for the year.
We finally ended the meeting and Tablers bid adieu to each other and left for their respective homes ranging from 0 to 1200 Kms away.
What a weekend…..Its just the beginning……
