MESSAGE FROM
THE SECRETARY:
Dear Members,
Over the past 2 months we had
some engaging speaker meetings
and I hope all of you enjoyed them.
We are truly excited and motivated about the increased
turnouts to these meetings and are working hard to get
more speakers in the coming months.
We are also proposing to invite some NGO and social
organisations as well as social entrepreneurs to come and
pitch their projects to our club, the intent of this exercise
is to ???nd projects in line with the vision of Rotary
International. Such projects can be evaluated for either
funding or co-opting. Considering the paucity of time our
members have, this may be a good route to identify
projects and people who will bring to us not only projects
but the necessary passion to execute them. Stay tuned for
more information in this regard. I wish you all a happy
Dussehra and Diwali in advance.
May this festive season bring you and your family lots of
love, peace and prosperity.
Regards
Narendra Pasuparthy
Secretary Ry 2016-17
MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT:
Dear Members,
Hope all are enjoying a good week!
It???s been over two months since our
team has taken over and we are
enjoying doing the community services and fellowship
events with all of you. Rotary International has
understood the challenges regarding time faced by the
members and in our case our traf???c situation adds to the
issue! That’s why the recent Council on Legislation
adopted some innovative measures that allow clubs to
vary their meeting times and expand their pool of
prospective members. Clubs have more ???exibility now to
respond to the needs of their members and to clear away
as many barriers to attending meetings as they can. We
have cut down the number of meetings per month to three
which includes one fellowship/ ???exible meeting –
regarding vocational/ new generation or community
service visit. We continue to need more willing hands,
more caring hearts, and more bright minds to move our
work forward, need you to join in as many service projects
possible – every little gesture uplifts the heart of a needy.
See you soon!
Warmest wishes
Nishu Jouhari
President RY 2016-17.

Benefits of Sugarcane
Sugarcane is an important member of the grass
family. It consists of sucrose and has several
nutrients included in it which aids in
maintaining good health. Many of the bene???ts
are not known by people. Sugarcane juice not
only helps to add on healthy form of sugar in
the bloodstream, it contains vitamins and
minerals that can protect the system from ???u,
freezing and sore throat. Sugarcane juice is one
fruit juice that has a high level of natural
sweetness. One does not have to add on
additional sugar to it. Those who are diabetic
can enjoy such a juice without worrying about
the blood sugar complications. When one is
suffering from acute dehydration, it is
recommended that one drinks this juice as it
helps to boost the blood sugar levels as well as
removes fatigue. Those who suffer from fever
and have loss of protein from the system, they
will ???nd that consumption of sugarcane juice
leads to supplementing the body with necessary
protein. The body temperature is brought down
and one can recuperate faster. Those who suffer
from jaundice are provided sugarcane juice to
recuperate faster. Digestion is assisted as well
as constipation, due to the high level of
potassium content. Wound healing properties
are enhanced and so is the immune system with
regular intake of sugarcane juice.
