DECEMBER 2008

FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT Dear Members, The season of festivals is here. It is the time of tapping our feet to the beats of merry notes. It is the time of merry-making, indeed! It is a matter of unalloyed satisfaction for all of us for the overwhelming response to our Bijoya-Diwali Programme. The National Debate too surpassed our expectations of success when more than 4,000 people were glued to their seats to listen to the brainstorming by some of the best brains of the country. We can see the theme of Friendship & Fellowship coming to reality much to our happiness. No, it is not all play for us. House building and Maintenance is a priority urea. Our rebuilt Board Room can rival any similar facility in the city. We shall begin the festivities of the season with a musical evening "Sound comes to Life", followed by a special dinner wn 13 December. The Bakery Carnival is happening on 21 December. We are sure the members and their families will enjoy the daylong events of entertainment and fun. An evening for carols will be there on 24 December. The Christmas Lunch this year will have a new and interesting menu. Please remember to book your seats well in advance to avoid disappointment. Pankaj Udhas & Talat Aziz are sharing the stage, at our Club lawns, for the first time for an enthralling performance on 27 December. Members are requested to collect their entry passes on time. Bring out the old and bring in the new. You can step with the rhythm of the band "Fahrenheit", followed by a popular DJ, welcoming the New Year. The Flagship event of the Club - International Evening -has been slated for 24January 2009. Members are requested to join in the fun and festivities. Let us take our Club to even newer heights. Thank you,
