Dear Friends in Rotary,
COMPLACENCY CAN KILL US
Rotary Club of Pondicherry Midtown has donated 42 Oxygenated-beds and 2 Multi Para Monitors to Indira Gandhi Medical College Hospital. This project was inaugurated by the Chief Minister and handed over to the Director of IGMC on 9th June, 2021.
This action by Rotarians will be of great assistance to the citizens of Pondicherry, during the pandemic and will also remain useful for many years to come. I congratulate and salute Rotarians of RC Pondicherry Midtown for coming to the forefront in the battle against Covid 19.
The latest news reports suggest that the 2nd wave of Covid is on the wane and various parts of the country are coming out of lockdown in a phased manner. This is a critical point which we must remember:
Complacency and Carelessness can Kill us.
While millions of Indians have already been vaccinated, there are millions more who have not got their 1st jab yet. This includes many of our youth and children, who may be most vulnerable in the face of a 3rd wave of Covid. As in the case of Polio, 99 % Success could turn out to be 100 % Failure
We are approaching the start of a new Rotary Year. I urge the incoming District Governors to ensure that there is no let-up in our efforts to fight Covid. Please keep this battle on high priority and encourage all Rotary Clubs to extend support in every possible way.
Continuity in Rotary can be best expressed as Rotary Offer Opportunities to Serve to Change Lives.
