A Masterstroke of Unity: Women Making History in Rotary
By PDG Rtn. A.P. Kanna, Event Advisor
Golden Sparrow was not just an event – it was a statement. A statement that when women take the lead, magic happens. From the very first brainstorming session to the final celebration, this event was driven by the passion, commitment, and grace of the women of Rotary. And what a phenomenal job they did!
Conceptualized with the powerful vision of our District First Lady, Rtn. Jayashree Bothra, and executed with brilliance by Event Chair Dr. Sujatha Srinivasan, Golden Sparrow soared to new heights of elegance and empowerment. The core team, comprising Co-Chair Rtn. Anees Begam, Secretary Lalitha Sriram, and Treasurer Rtn. Mohini Sriram, set a standard of leadership that was both inspiring and efficient.
Watching the event unfold was like witnessing a masterclass in collaboration. Sujatha, our Vision Virtuoso, led with heart and vision, ensuring every detail was in place. Anees, our Harmony Architect, orchestrated the flow with her knack for seamless coordination. Lalitha, the Sincere Secretary, kept things running with clockwork precision. And of course, Mohini, the Money Master, managed the finances with absolute flair. Together, they proved that leadership, when done with unity and purpose, can be unstoppable.
The day itself was nothing short of magical. From the beautifully decorated venue to the inspiring sessions and the vibrant cultural performances, everything reflected the spirit of womanhood. The games, quizzes, and interactive sessions added a layer of joy and community that was palpable. It wasn’t just an event – it was an experience that celebrated the essence of Rotary and the strength of women.
A special mention must go to the men who stood by us in support. PDG ISAK Nazar, whose idea of Golden Sparrow set the wheels in motion, was an unfaltering pillar of strength. His vision to engage and empower women through this grand platform was the spark that ignited this beautiful journey. Our District Governor, Rtn. Mahaveer Bothra, lent his unwavering support, embracing the idea and empowering the women of Rotary to shine.
I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to PDG R Srinivasan, the district officials and male Rotarians who supported this initiative wholeheartedly. Their encouragement and assistance, whenever required, showed true Rotary spirit – supporting each other to achieve more.
Golden Sparrow is proof that when women lead, history is made. And I am immensely proud to have been part of this journey, witnessing history unfold right before our eyes. Together, we have not just created memories; we have set a new standard for what is possible in Rotary.
