Today, the 18th of April 2010, will remain a memorable day for all of us in the GSE Program as we met a very senior Rtn. Raymond, who was the Past District Governor of Dist 5490. He was in a health care home, suffering from some heart related problem. We took the opportunity to meet him in Prescott on our visit this day.
Raymond has been in the Navy and served for thirty years before he retired and came down to Rotary. It was nice listening to him explaining how Navy leadership was completely different from Rotary leadership. He told us that he enjoyed both the careers and his Rotary career was very satifying as he got an opportunity to meet several people from various countries and continents.
"It is interesting to participate in the process of International Peace and Harmony. Now that I have met you and spoke to you, I have met India. I am so happy that you all came and took time out of your busy schedule to see me. Have a nice trip here. Have fun!" These were the parting words of the wise Rotary Leader to our team. Above are some photos from the visit.
We met the Australian GSE Team in the morning. We also met our GSE Team Member to India Dist 3190 Matt. He was with us as we visited the Sharlott Hall Meuseum in Prescott and had lunch with us. Here are the photos that I have got on my camera of Matt and the Australian team.
It was fun meeting them and talking to them. We exchanged some great friendship during
the day. Await my next post. I promise I will give you something that will make you green with J!!Until Then, Have Fun!!
Great reporting hope you continue to keep us posted of your happy times and may be sometimes a few will be J and/or Green with envy

Its true that we'vent learned the good things of Americans instead carry a wrong notion about them. This is the time we show them or rather let them know our culture and hospitality that changes their attitude towards us. It wouldnt happen just by saying to one and others, but do matters as it passes from one to other and also some evidence or POC where we show them what we are and what we mean.
ReplyDeleteCheers to you, spread the good things and learn the goody things...lets bridge us together.
All the very best!!!
Good initiative sir.. All the best...
