Very First ZRR Visit

Our Z.R.R 2012/13 Rtr. Mubeen Ameen visited to our Rotaratct Club of Kuliyapitiya on Sunday, 20th July. A special meeting was organized at our President, Anuja Madhushan’s residence and we warmly welcomed our guest Rtr Mubeen Ameen and his fellow Rotaracters came from Anuradhapura club. It was the first ZRR Visit for this year and the meeting was hosted at 5.30 p.m.

After welcoming our guests and reassuring the comfort of them, minuets of the previous meeting was presented by the secretary.  Afterwards ZRR Rtr. Mubeen Ameen and his fellow Rotaracters were introduced to our members. On that day he acknowledged the members about their duties and responsibilities.

             

ZRR Mubeen’s speech included many vital facts which are most important for us. He widened our knowledge on aspects such as,

• What we have to add for the club.
• Some short comings we have.
• How to carry out a project
• How to carry out a join project.
• The way we have to make reports and  the time limits to submit a project to the district committee    
• How to take posts in District Committee.
• About “RYLA” and how to participate in it.
• What committees we should form in the club

Due to his speech on the above aspects our knowledge was vastly widened and all we had a very clear knowledge about our duties. He also didn't fail to mention how important our effort is to take our club to a standard level. We would like to convey our heartiest gratitude and thanks to ZRR Rtr Mubeen Ameen and his fellow rotaractors at Anuradhapura Club for the presence and much needed support.
