President's Message
My Dear Rotarians,
Last week we had a memorable meeting at Shakthidhama, a Women Rehabilitation Centre where
we could understand lot of problems faced by women fraternity. After hearing to Madam Sumana one

with a priority. We were able to fulfill their requirements of 3 pedestal fans & our Rotarians were so
generous that we could give Rs.5,000/-as monetary support & dinner was served to all the inmates. I
thank all the Rotarians for their liberal contributions. Today we have two Mysore's proud journalists
