…And how a change in thoughts can lead to a change in life.

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming in capable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

My dear friends, with these words in mind, I have planned certain service programs and projects, which the clubs have to undertake during the year

My slogan for the year is – “Be Positive” A state of mind worth developing. Let us see the bright side of life. There is goodness in everybody. Recognize and appreciate it. Let us not hurt anybody either by words or by deeds.

My theme for “BE POSITIVE”

The Service programs for the year are mainly divided in to three parts. These are :- 1.Youth support: Our country is very much blessed with young working population. However it is our duty to mould and nurture this young people in to highly positive, confident and educated lot.

The Service programs for the year are mainly divided in to three parts. These are :- 2.Medical support: All activities, such as organ donation, cornea transplantation, support for dialyses, Heart Surgeries, Treatment of cancer, Support for Palliative Care etc come under this program.

The Service programs for the year are mainly divided in to three parts. These are :- 3. Social support We, the members of this organization are committed to the society, where we live. We always bear in mind our obligations as citizens to our nation, our state, and our community, and to give them our constant loyalty in words, acts, and deeds.

“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and Positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” Wish you all SUCCESS Thank you fellow Lions and Lionesses
