DIRECTORS' REPORT

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Rotary Club of Calcutta, I have pleasure in presenting the 89th Annual Report of the Club containing the Audited Annual Accounts of The Rotary Club of Calcutta, Rotary Club of Calcutta Welfare Trust and Rotary Children's Welfare Trust for the financial Year ending 31stMarch 2009.

1 also have pleasure in presenting to you a vignette of the clubs multifarious activities in the current Rotary year, in many of which you have played an active part.

The Board of Directors take this opportunity of congratulating all the Chairpersons and Co-chairpersons of the Committees for dreaming big with us and for their dedication in conveying the dreams to reality.
To each and every member of the club we owe a lot for their unstinted support and encouragement.
The help and guidance from our Past Presidents, their wise counsel has helped us steer in the right direction we express our gratitude to them.

We are beholden to all our donors who have contributed generously towards our projects and activities by donating, sponsoring, advertising & hosting our various programs. To them the Board expresses its sincere gratitude. Many have contributed their valuable time, energy and ideas, we are thankful to them too. The Board wishes to record its sincere appreciation for the Rotaract and Interact Clubs for their exemplary performance during this year. We thank the Inner Wheel club of Calcutta and the Rotary Community Corps for the efforts put in by them during the year.

The Board puts on record its sincere appreciation to the Hony. Auditor Shri Ravindra Pratap Singh for accepting the responsibility as Hony. Auditor of The Rotary Club of Calcutta, Rotary Club of Calcutta Welfare Trust and the Rotary Children's Welfare Trust for the year ended 31st March 2009 at such a short notice. Shri Singh was appointed in the casual vacancy arising from the resignation of Shri Harsh Vardhan Lodha who could not continue to act as an auditor for his personal reasons. We also express our thanks to Shri Harsh Vardhan Lodha for the services he has rendered to the club for which we owe a debt of gratitude to him.

Most importantly the Board expresses its sincere appreciation and thanks to the members of the staff of the Rotary Club of Calcutta and the Rotary Children's Welfare Trust and the staff working in our homeopathy clinic for their year long unstinted support in their respective areas of responsibility. Without their active support no task would have been achieved.

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Nandita Sen President
Dated : 22nd June, 2009

The club records its deepest appreciation for Rtn. Dr. Dipak Sarbadhikari for his untiring efforts in making the Archives truly a treasure house of Rotary. Chairperson Rtn. Sujata Pyne enhanced our NCL Childrens' Library and Cultural Section. The children of the Cultural Section gave wonderful performances at important club events - Rabindra Najrul Smaran Sandhya, Republic Day, Independence Day, Nehru Birthday, Inner Wheel Fund Raising Day and Foreigners' Visit. An Art Exhibition of the paintings of all the Art Schools was also he Id and was a grand success.
