He is well known for his ecommerce venture, reddystamps.com. He markets rubber stamps online.
Ms. Sulochana and Dr. Reddy made a donation of
` 100,000 for the Club’s projects. It was a nice gesture of belonging to our club and to Rotary; The Southerners appreciate the feeling of fellowship expressed in action by the couple. Though many of us were not members of the Club when you were a member, we now know the strength of your bond with the Club.Thank you.
W
hat Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put into it. Many membership requirements are designed to help club members more fully participate in and enjoy their Rotary experience. Attending weekly club meetings allows members to enjoy fellowship, enrich their professional and personal knowledge, and meet other business leaders in their community. If members miss a meeting of their own club, they’re encouraged to expand their Rotary horizons by attending a meeting of any other Rotary club in the world.By participating in local and international service projects, club members can volunteer their time and talents where they’re most needed. The Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based. To keep clubs strong, every Rotarian must share the responsibility of bringing new people into Rotary. Even new members can bring guests to club meetings or invite them to participate in a service project.
Keeping members involved in Rotary is another responsibility. Fostering strong fellowship and encouraging early participation in service projects are two of the best ways to sustain a club’s membership. Rotary needs more younger persons to share the responsibility of running the clubs and implementing projects.
