The Installation Ceremony of the
Rotaract Club of Kandy for the year 2017/2018 was held on the 9th of September 2017
at the Mahaweli Reach Hotel, Kandy.
The event saw its successful
completion after days of persistent work by all the members of the club. It marked
an end to a remarkable year of great service paving way for a new year with unique
aspirations to be achieved through Rotaract.
The occasion was graced by the
presence of our Chief Guest Rtn. PHF. Gnanaraj Rathnapandian, our Guest of
Honour, Co- DRCC Rtn. PHF Geshani Dias Desinghe and many representatives from other
Rotaract and Interact Clubs, parents and friends. The traditional oil lamp was
then lit, followed by the recitation of the flag salutation, Rotaract
invocation and the four way test and the singing of the Rotaract song.
Team Kandy continues to uphold
the dignity and the honor of the club by completing thirty nine projects in all
avenues and looks forward to achieve more with the guidance of the incoming
president, Rtr. Samindhi Unamboowe and her executive board. The appointment of
the new president was undoubtedly the highlight of the day. Her speech as the
newly appointed president where she shared moments of her life as a Rotaractor,
was very motivating and exemplary as it was an inspiration to all the members
of the club to do their best in the upcoming year.
