Club Members

It is a great honour to stand before you as the President of the Rotary Club of Kalimpong. Having been a member for the past eight years and serving earlier as Editor and Secretary, I feel humbled by the trust you have placed in me.

At this moment, I gratefully remember the generous contributions that built the foundation of this club — Ma Aparna for the land, Rtn. Dr. Khem Fatimi for her continued support for the education of underprivileged children, our Charter President Brig. Nripad Kumar Gurung, our charter members, and the late Capt. Andrew Philip Lal for strengthening our Interact movement. I also acknowledge our 18 Past Presidents whose leadership has shaped the strong club we are today. The collar I wear today represents their legacy and responsibility.

This year our theme is “Unite for Good.” As our District Governor calls us Team Olympus, we will work together to serve our community with dedication and purpose. Our focus will be meaningful service projects, strong fellowship, and growing our membership so that we can expand our impact.

Rotary is not just about meetings; it is about showing up for our community. With the passion and commitment of our members, Anns, and families, I am confident we will make a real difference.

Thank you for your trust and support. Let us work together and make this a year of service, fellowship, and impact.

Thank you — Team Olympus!
