MESSAGE OF DISTRICT CHAIRMAN

   
 

 

Dear Friends in Inner Wheel,

 

With the ushering in of the new Inner Wheel year, let us once again take the pledge of coming together in our mission of 'Service above Self'. The Inner Wheel Movement in District 329 is well known for the commitment and dedication of its members and I once again seek your cooperation and support for taking the movement forward in 2011-12.

 

Fellowship, Friendship and Service to the community are the ingredients in the daily life of the members of the Inner Wheel fraternity. Let us use these positive elements to work together and light a ray of hope for those who need our love and care.

 

The theme for the next Inner Wheel year is 'Think Ahead - Aim High'. A time has come for all of us to look forward to the social equations which are likely to develop in the next five to ten years in our society and based on the needs of the deprived and downtrodden layers of the society then, we would need to plan our activities this year and the years ahead in order to ensure that our help and assistance reach out to those who need it the most. At the same time, we need to think big and set higher goals for ourselves because with a large number of clubs and members , our capacity to serve must increase. I am confident that the ingenuity and education of our members will help us in a manner so that together we can do justice to the new theme "Think Ahead - Aim High".

 

I take this opportunity to wish each each one of you and your families health, wealth and prosperity and look forward to serving humanity with our branded commitment, zeal and dedication - the trade mark of Inner Wheel District 329.    

 

I conclude with this message to all of you:

 

YOUR FUTURE LIES BEFORE YOU

LIKE A SHEET OF HIDDEN SNOW

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAD ON IT

FOR EVERY MARK WILL SHOW
