Thought for the Day by Annette Mahalasa Kini

\Time is, slow when you wait, fast when you are late, deadly when you are sad, short when you are happy, endless when you are in pain and long when you are feeling bored.Every time, time is determined by your feelings and your psychological condition and not the clock. So always have a nice time.

As citizen grow older, it becomes increasingly important for them to retain their personal independence and to remain in control of their own lives to the extent this is possible. Many Rotary clubs are seeking ways to serve the older persons oftheir community who face problems of deteriorating health, loneliness, poor nutrition, transportation difficulties, inability to do customary chores, loss of family associations, reduced recreational opportunities, inadequate housing and limited information about available social agencies for emergency assistance. Some clubs have initiated a valuable community service to assistolder persons in retirement planning and adjustment by organizing and sharing the wealth of information available within the club's membership. Other clubs have developed foster grandparent programs and other intergenerational activities that allow seniors to use their experience and knowledge to help young people. Rotarians often can provide services which seniors can no longer do for themselves.The greatest need of aging individuals is frequently a mere expression of real caring and concern by thoughtful friends. All Rotarians should seriously consider how they and their clubs may actively participate in programs for the aging. It is one area of community service in which there is a growing possibility that each of us may someday be on the receiving end.

We meet every Tuesday between 7 PM – 8 PM at Rtn. K K Bhandarkar Hall Rotary Sports Complex, Manipal

CONCERN FOR THE AGINGOne current area of special emphasis for Rotary clubs focuses on providing "new opportunities for the aging." In 1990, the RI Board of Directors urged Rotarians to identify new projects serving the elderly that emphasize intergenerational activities and the integration of seniors into society and the workplace. The following year, the board called for an approach that stressed service "with" the elderly as well as "for" them. With the substantial upswing in the worldwide population of older persons, their needs for special attention have greatly multiplied.

Inauguration of spoken English classes program held on 27th Sept 2019 at Govt Hr.Primary School Saralebettu.This is a service project by RCUM jointly with Shefins Presidium Manipal to the students from IVth to VIIth std. which will continue for one year.
