Akshaya Patra
Food DonationCamp
In a project headed by Ria Vissanji, and Tanvi Sait, we supported the Akshaya Patra Foundation in providing meals to people in Assam that were affected by the heavy rains and floods. With the arrival of massive rainfall and floods in Assam, many regions were hit and destroyed as a consequence of which, the life of many people overturned. The Akshaya Patra Foundation started an initiative to provide meals to the victims of the calamity. The cost of each meal would be INR 22/-. The members of rmnp came forward to assist in raising funds from within members, along with friends and family. The club members were able to contribute in our small way to create an impact to help Akshaya Patra Foundation to rebuild the lives of the calamity victims. We were able to raise INR 33,400/- for a total of 1520 meals to help those affected by the floods.
INSTALLATION
The installation is a formal Rotaract event which indicates the passing of the leadership baton from one president to another. This year, Rtr. Yash Kapadia passed on the President-ship to Rtr. Shubh Kapadia and welcomed his new team for their new term. We held the Installation on 28th August, at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club. The Installation was where we launched our new theme of the year - "Together For The Future". It was a delightful evening with our members and guests present. The event had Rtr. Gemin Shah, the DRR, as our Guest of Honour, along with Mrs. Neeta Sacheti, the President of the Inner Wheel Club of Mumbai Nariman Point, as our Chief Guest. The theme for our installation was “Carnival”. There were games & decor evolving around the theme which members took part in, along with conversations that helped us network with our guests and build connections.
"Inquizitive"
A Trivia -Quiz event
As an initiative taken up under Fellowship, Karan Saraogi, Aarushi Chitlangia, Shailee Agarwal & Abhay Kagzi organised a trivia event which was aimed at increasing active participation of the general body members in the club activities & projects. It was planned so as to make the new members feel welcomed into the club & strengthen the bond amongst all the members as a group. The planning of the project started with the idea of an event to engage all members via topics involving common areas of interest. The organizing team first identified the different avenues wherein the questions could revolve around – them being Sports, the Members, Maths, Hollywood, Bollywood, general riddles, and Alcohol. The teams were bifurcated on a random basis just to ensure that each team had at least one BOD member, and at least 1 newly joined member. It was an energetic event e participation from our members & an evening filled with fun!
“ To Beginnings & Beyond! ”
Farewell Event for Members
As many of our members were planning to shift abroad for work or further studies, we decided to give these members a memorable experience of club bonding, in the form of a farewell party. The planning began with shortlisting a venue for this event. The event was then planned as a Bollywood night celebration to attract maximum crowd & ensure a guaranteed fun filled event. The event took place on the 17th of September, Saturday at B-Lounge, Mumbai alongwith an evening of laughter, joy & memories!
