Unusual Board Meetings
This first quarter, two new mega projects have
seen the light. “Samartha” being a noble gesture from
Midtown in mainstreaming the differently abled. The
first step towards this cause has been very successful and
has laid the foundation for further programmes. The
second one is the “Y.Bhagawan Memorial English

usually the attendance is low, have seen large number of
listeners. The attendance has not been less than 80%, a
record in the history of Midtown. Great effort by the board,
keep it up.
Great Speakers have Graced Midtown
Midtown hosted the Zonal Seminar on TRF
which was well attended by Chairpersons of various
committees of Zone VII and Zone VIII. Learned and
experienced Rotarians of Midtown gave an insight into
Rotary's “Future Vision” which was well received by the
participating delegates. Midtown is one of the elite clubs to
host a Zonal event.
Family Funtoosh
Some great speakers like C.V.Gopinath, who
took us on a virtual tour of Kailash Parvath, and Mr.
Prakash, a humble teacher who made a difference have
awed and inspired our Rotarians. Hats off to our members
for identifying such people who set an example for others.
Speaker meets have become an event to look forward to
gain some knowledge.
Noteworthy Projects
Family members of Rotarians did not get a
chance to take the back seat because there was so much
happening involving them. Family visit to “The Village”, a
theme restaurant was one such event. There seemed to be
no end for fun, frolic and food. How can anyone forget our
“Men's Cooking Day”. An innovative idea, where men and

What a day it was! Thank you Vishwa, for bringing Masthalli like
fever, in different forms into the club.
So far it's all pluses for Captain Vishwa and team this first
quarter. Not only the board members, but all Midtowners can pat CARDIAC CAMP
themselves on their shoulders and lift up their collars feeling
proud of the achievements. It is just the first mile stone of reaching
the goal of repeating history, by winning the “Best Club Award”
for the second time in a row. Good job guys, keep it up and move
forward for we still have three quarters left. Cheers for Rotary
Mysore Midtown. Hip- Hip- Hurray!!!
Dear Friends,
October being the vocational month, visit to a vocational place is
meaningful and visit to infosys is the best that we can ask for, whose ideals
are very close to Rotary's four way test. On behalf of all of us, I would like to
thank Prof.Dr.Subraya and Mr.Biligiri Ranga for making this dream come true.
Today lets visit INFOSYS.
Thank You
