MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT CHAIRMAN SUMA PRAFULLA
Dear Members of Inner Wheel District 319,
As the 44 District Chairman of Inner Wheel District 319,
it gives me an immense pleasure to greet each one of you
through this District Directory ‘Mythri’. I am thankful to
everyone who has reposed faith in me and entrusted me
with the responsibility of leading this prestigious District.

The IIW Theme given by International Inner Wheel
President, Dr. Bina Vyas for the year 2020 -21 is
'LEAD THE CHANGE'.
“Lead the change”, what a powerful theme! In line with
the IIW Theme I would like to emphasize the following
points:
In times of a global pandemic which has created a lot of
uncertainty across all walks of life and all sects of the
society, I urge all of you to come together, LEAD THE
CHANGE and instill HOPE in the world around us. Let us
do our part in helping one another to get back up from this
unexpected circumstance.
Along with the multiple new activities and projects in line
with the current theme, we must also focus on the
26 continuous projects /activities which have been going on
for a long time.
This year we are looking forward for the 18 IIW
rd th Convention which is going to be held from March 3 to 6
of March 2021 at Jaipur Exhibition and Convention
Centre, Jaipur, India. Members from all over the world will
meet in the presence of the IIW President Dr. Bina Vyas.
Other International Inner Wheel dignitaries and various
dignitaries from the Association meet here to express and
exchange views and also to put forth their ideas.
It is a matter of pride that, Past Association President
Shailja Bhat from our District 319 will be holding the
post of Chief Stewardess during this event. Let's all make
the most of this opportunity to make new ties and
strengthen old ones across the Inner Wheel Community.
Time and again we have seen the difference that we have
been able to bring to society when we have worked
together as a team. To have an efficient and energetic
group of people working towards the same goal is similar
to having the work half done at the start. I am grateful to
have an amazing District Executive Committee members
and an enthusiastic group of Presidents this year and
with Past District Chairmen being ever ready to guide us.
Am sure we will be able to execute our duties well.
I take this opportunity to thank District Editor Rajani
Gowda who has worked hard to bring out this issue of
“Mythri”. I also would like to thank Past District
Chairman Vinaya Joshi for her continued input which has
been instrumental in helping us bring out this issue of the
“Mythri”. My heartfelt gratitude to the members of Inner
Wheel Club of Bangalore South, my home club, for their
27
continued support throughout. Lastly, I would also like to
acknowledge each one of you, who have helped in this
Inner wheel Journey of mine.
As the saying by Buddha goes 'One moment can change a
day, One day can change a life and One life can change
the world', let us rise, LEAD THE CHANGE in the society
and brighten life with the spark of HOPE.
Wishing you all, a very successful and enjoyable year. Let
us all join hands to help the ones in need and work towards
making this a better place for the future.
Yours in Inner Wheel,
Suma Prafulla
District Chairman 2020-21
District 319
