I am proud to be the President of our Club, which has Members who are inspiring stories in themselves, and who have set examples in service to the community and in their own occupations.

Friends, it was my wish that the worthy hands of none other than our very own Past Presidents should install our team of 2015-2016. Trust me, friends, it was really proud & historical moment when we all got installed on 19th July at Hotel Retreat, Madh Island.

Our Club is like a family, which is being celebrated by giving cakes to our Members on their wedding anniversary.

It was very a proud & emotional moment when I got the opportunity to hoist the National flag in our college campus & to inspect the parade of NCC 3rd Maharashtra Battalion.

With your love, affection and faith posed in me, I am sure I will be able to shoulder all the responsibilities cast upon me.

Thanking you whole heartedly

Yours in Lionism, President Lion Rajit M. Mehra (2015-2016)

उDAAn  Issue 1 •Jul - Sep 2015-2016

Lion Nikhil Sanghai –Chairman Physiotheraphy Centre I  joined  our  club  in  August  2011,  since  my  uncle  has  been  a  member  over  20  years  I  have  attended  several  parties  since  childhood  days  and  believe  me  we  cousins  had  too  much  fun.  Now  that  we  cousins  have  grown  up  and  have  kids  we  thought  to  take  the  same  to  the  next  generation  too  and  with  that  idea  we  joined  the  club.  So  the  initial  years  are  truly  Honeymoon  period  where  we  make  new  friends,  go  for  outings  and  have  fun  too.  In  the  3rd  year  while  we  hear  and  look  at  people  working  selflessly    for  the  society,    that  is  when  I  made  up  my  mind  too  that  I  have  to  give  back  to  the  society  and  Lionism  is  a  nice  way  to  go.  Since  I  had  already  made  up  mind  it  was  time  for  action  so  when  President  Rajit  offered  me  the  Chairmanship  of  the  Physiotherapy  clinic  I  grabbed  the  opportunity  quickly.  Devoting  2  to  4  hours  in  a  week  for  the  society  is  not  very  difficult  provided  we  have  the  intention  to  serve.  Last  point  I  would  like  to  highlight  is,  its  a  myth  that  only  Businessman  can  devote  time,  I  am  into    service  and  devote  time  too  provided  one  needs  to  plan  in  advance.  As  the  club  has  shown  trust  in  my  abilities  and  given  me  the  responsibility  I  assure  the  club  to  do  the  best  from  my  side,  but  slowly  at  the  subconscious  level  one  tends  to  realise  that  Lionism  is  just  not  about  partying  and  enjoying  its  about  service  to  the  society  

DIRECTOR  LION  NITIN  &  LADY  LION  SHILPA  MALHOTRA:    LCMB  is  the  real  place  if  you  have  zeal  to  help  the  citizens  in  need.    "PROUD  TO  BE  A  LION  "-­‐  As  the  catch  line  says  we  active  member  of  lions  club  and  are  proud  to  be  so  .After  joining  this  club  we  have  learnt  many  ways  and  means  of  serving  people  which  is  the  main  purpose  of  our  club.  We  have  come  across  various    people  having  an  optimistic  point  of  view  and  a  very  positive  attitude  which  itself  is  an  inspiration  to  us  and  have  supported  and  encouraged  us  to  start  a  new  venture  in  my  life.  As  we  all  need  some  kind  of  entertainment  in  our  lives  ,  our  club  not  only  serves  and  helps  the  needy  but  also  organises  great  entertaining  functions.  We  are  always  ready  to  help  our  club  in  any  and  every  way  possible.  And  "LIONISM"  speaks  for  itself.  The  presence  of  senior  members  acts  as  motivational  instinct  in  the  club  &  simultaneously  also  gives  a  homely  feel  in  their  company.  We  are  and  always  will  be  proud  of  being  a  LION.  

I  am  associated  with  Ahimsa  Jain  Samaj  group  and  NGO  -­‐-­‐Ek  Nayi  Pahal  group  .  It's  my  privilege  n  fortune  to  be  associated  with  Lions  Club.  It  gives  me  ample  opportunities  to  help  needy  

people.  It  has  helped  me  in  socialising    and  interacting  with  lot  many  new  people.  Lionism  definitely  helps  in  increasing      our  confidence  level  ,improving  our  personality  n  awareness  .

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief – to serve their community. Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.35 million members in more than 46000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas. Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects – including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled. Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness. Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.
