short presentation about the needs
of the hospital, to mark this event,
a new project was initiated to provide
assistance to the Maharagama Cancer
hospital by handing over a cheque
to purchase blood collection pouches
for the hospital.
Rotarian gnanaka in his address

our club, especially Rev Nagatha,
suita West and Astley club for their
support and remembered those who
were affected by the recent tsunami
in Japan.

The District Governor Gehan Siribaddana
who was the chief guest at the event
addressing the gathering made emphasis
on the need for commitment to serve
those less privileged. He related
a story about the "99 coin test"
to state that its by giving your-self
in service and the search within
that will bring happiness. Rotary
is about service and together we
can make a change.
