Interact Club of Sunderji Stars Shines Bright at District Rotary Assembly
The Interact Club of Sunderji Stars proudly participated in the District Rotary Assembly Zone 4 held at Rosary School on 28th September. The event was co-hosted by Rotary Club of Poona,
Rotary Club of Poona Downtown, and Rotary Club of Poona Central, under the able convenorship of Rtn. Daljeet Raizada.
The assembly commenced with the National Anthem, followed by the traditional Deep Prajwalan and a mesmerizing welcome dance by a student of Don Bosco on the theme of Durga Puja. The dignitaries were felicitated soon after, with warm greetings extended to Chief Guest Mr. Santosh Mahatre (District Governor) and Guests of Honour Rtn. Tina Ratra and Rtn. Zimbra Israel. Rtn. Tina Ratra enlightened the audience on the role and responsibilities of Interact Clubs, emphasizing how young Interactors contribute meaningfully to society.
Members of the Interact Club of Poona Downtown showcased their remarkable initiative, the Interact Football Fund League (IFFL)—a unique project aimed at raising funds for cervical cancer patients.
The highlight of the day was the Interact Club Recognition Ceremony, celebrating outstanding achievements by Interact Clubs across the district.
