Dear Rotarians and Friends,

It gives me immense joy to share the third edition of our District GML – HOLLY. The past month has been truly encouraging with overwhelming responses from clubs across the district towards our Best bulletin of the month competeion. 

The Rotary Quiz has also received enthusiastic participation, reflecting the eagerness of Rotarians to enhance their Rotary knowledge. Adding to this inspiration, many clubs have executed remarkable service projects, further strengthening our impact in the community.

In the September GML, we were proud to feature heartfelt feedback from beneficiaries, bringing to light the true purpose of our service. I am also delighted to note that in just 50 days, our GML viewership has crossed 2,000+ readers, a milestone that motivates us to keep innovating.

A special highlight for me was receiving wonderful appreciation from the Rotaract Club of Abugida, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This recognition, which came through a new initiative by Rotary International, shows that our efforts are resonating well beyond our district and across borders.

On this auspicious occasion, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all Rotarians and their families. May Lord Ganesha bless us with wisdom, harmony, and strength to serve even better.

I sincerely thank all Rotarians, clubs, and readers for your support and encouragement. Let us continue to make HOLLY a platform of inspiration, learning, and connection.

Warm regards,
Rtn.Rushikesh Kulkarni
District Director – GML 2025-26
