Old boys meet

WHEN OLD boys get together, it could be quite an evening.

When old boys got together for the first ever reunion seminar of Zone 5 and 6, the Rotary Foundation Alumni Association (RFAA) opted for Dakshina Chitra, far from the madding crowd.

To the Group Study Exchange teams from the United States and United Kingdom, the venue was Paradise Found.

``Amazing,'' Mr. Roy Alexander Brocklebank, the leader of the UK GSE team said of his experience.

After the first-timers had a quick exploration of Dakshina Chitra, and a lightning shopping spree for souvenirs, it was soon time for business.

The guest of honour, Mr.B.Vijayaraghavan appealed to every Rotarian to adopt his own street, taking off on the `Charity begins at home' mantra.

The District Governor Ms. Rekha Shetty summarised projects which she said the RFAA could consider.

The Puppet show, a one-man show by the artiste from Thanjavur, was a modern depiction of `Krishna Leela,' partly in English for the benefit of the tourists.

Tiger dance, Fire dance and then Indian classical music kept the Rotarians occupied as traditional South Indian food was served.
