Congratulations to the Queens Club in its 10th Year!
The Queens Club celebrated its 10th anniversary at a function held at YMCA on 2 April 2005. Happily it coincided with the charter ceremony of the Kowdiar Club, sponsored earlier this year by the Queens. Remarkable have been the achievements of the Kowdiar Club, which literally hit the ground running and has sponsored a new club already. The District Governor Ym. E Justus congratulated both the clubs and described the Queens as the proud Grandma.
Many leaders on the dais and in the audience praised the Queens and the Kowdiar clubs for their enviable performance. Awards were presented to Yw. Sally Ben and Yw. Jessy Harilal by past RD Ym. Rajan Panicker.
Representing YMC Vattiyoorkavu, Ym. George Varghese, Ym. Dr. Abraham Joshua, Ymt. Geetha Abraham, Ym. KG Satheesh Kumar and Ymt. Lekha Satheesh participated.
