The Peninsula Post-January 2012
From the President’s desk:
January leads us to the new year 2012 and marks a season of change. It is time to work with
rejuvenated enthusiasm in the service of community.
Our Club participated in the Rotary Service Week from 22nd January to 28th January during which
various clubs organized medical camps, blood donation drives, vocational training & guidance camps,
etc. We co-hosted the Mega Medical Camp at Phoenix High Street, Parel and co-hosted blood donation
camp at Churchgate station. It provided high visibility to our clubs.
This month celebrates Makar Sankranti (festival of kites). We started the month hearing Lord Dolar
Popat, Conservative Left Peer in the House of Lords, Great Britain. He served 3 Prime Ministers
Margaret Thatcher, John Mayer, David Cameroon. Rtn Uday Krandikar unraveled the miracle of ionized
water therapy to reverse ageing and look & feel young. We met veteran actress Nandita Das who
shared her experiences in producing the film “Firaaq”. Dr. Snehal Sakplal and Dr. Nigmanand Dey
presented “Skin Donation & Skin Processing” to our members. Dr. Dey highlighted how the skin colour
becomes fair naturally by hydrating the skin.
Our club wholeheartedly participated in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon Dream Run on
Sunday, 15-Jan-2012 with 50 registrations. Our club took lead in the District for NGO charity
registrations which totaled 150 across 5 clubs. Participants enjoyed the carnival like atmosphere.
We donated a water cooler to FPH, Worli, participated in the Road Safety Week by putting up posters
on road safety.
Our club is geared up to host 3 inbound Vocational Training Team (GSE) team members from
Austria/Serbia from 3rd to 5th March. Kudos to the members hosting them.

RIP Kalyan Banerjee’s Message :
Please accept my personal invitation to join me and our fellow Ratarians in Bangkok, Thailand, 6-9 May 2012, for the 103 rd
Rotary International Convention – an incredible event in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
Thailand is a spectacular destination, truly the land of Thousand Smiles. I would particularly urge Rotarians who have never
visited Asia before to consider this your chance. Bangkok is a fantastic gateway to explore the Southeast Asia and a
wonderful experience on its own for a shorter trip. For those who hail from countries closer by take the opportunity for a
great gateway – with all the dining, shopping and sightseeing opportunities of a major cultural capital. Indeed, for those
who have been there already you know that you can never get enough of Bangkok.
But the best reason to visit the Bangkok, of course, will be the Ratary convention itself: the highlight of the Rotary calendar
and an opportunity not to be missed.
All through the year, we reach out of Rotary communities across the globe. At the convention, we have the chance to see all
those communities represented in one place – to hear all the languages, see all the people and learn about all the projects
of the past year. Nothing brings home the internationality of Rotary like a Rotary convention and nothing else has the same
power to inspire.
Every year I go to RI convention excited to see old friends and make new ones, to celebrate our successes and learn from
our experience. And every year I leave with a sense of pride in Rotary, eager to continue my commitment to Rotary.
This year promises to be the best convention yet. I urge you to register now and begin planning for our 103 rd Rotary
International Convention in Bangkok !
Sincerely,
Kalyan Banerjee
