RCKA Bulletin Desk

The District Assembly, an annual training event for the Rotary leaders, was held at Carlton Hotel, located in Defence Housing Authority, Karachi, on May 19. The Rotarians of District 3271 participated enthusiastically in the Assembly whose sessions were enlightening and interesting.

The District Assembly, which prepares the leaders for their responsibilities and assignments during the upcoming Rotary year, was not mandatory but it was strongly recommended for all the club leaders including board members, committee chairs, and club members as well. 

Historically the clubs having higher percentage of their members participating in the annual Assembly tend to be more effective Rotary clubs with regular growth, above average attendance, and outstanding participation in all club activities. 

The District's goals for the Rotary year 2012-2013 were explained to the participants by the incoming District Governor, Jalaluddin Shaikh, and District Secretary, Tariq Rasheed Durrani, while seasoned trainers like PDG Abu Mohsin and IPDG Shahab Balkhi, motivated the upcoming leaders with their wealth of knowledge.

The inter-active sessions on the key subjects of matching grant and public relations, which were very well attended, turned out to be educative for the participants. 

Assistant Governor Syed Khalid Mahmood, who is also Charter President of Rotary Club of Karachi Airport, described the event as pretty useful, which enabled him to learn quite a few useful tips. 

Dr. Fahmida Khatoon, Secretary, Rotary Club of Karachi Kolachi, headed the District Assembly Organizing Committee, which played a pivotal role in roping in the busy Rotarians on a working day. 

“Come join us for a day of planning and motivating training before your year of service begins on July 1, 2012! District leadership is encouraged to attend in order to "network" with your club counterparts and build a strong support system for the clubs,” she wrote in one of her messages on the eve of the Assembly.
