    If we could consider each otherA neighbour, a friend or a brother

    It would be a wonderful wonderful world

    It would be a wonderful world.....(Chorus)

    If each little kid had fresh milk each day

    If each old soul had some place to stay

    If each working man had enough time to play

    It would be a wonderful world.....(Chorus)

    If there were no poor and the rich were content

    If each of us knew what true brotherhood meant

    It would be a wonderful world.....(Chorus)

    If people all over would trust one another

    Not thinking about their race or their colour

    If they did agree to join hands altogether

    It would be a wonderful world.....(Chorus)

    If Tables of India can properly plan

    To do for their country whatever they can

    If FELLOWSHIP brings about SERVICE to man

    It would be a wonderful world......(Chorus)

    Oh Boy! It would be a wonderful world.

    Area Chairman's Message

    It has been an honour and privilege

    to serve you as the Chairman of RTI

    Area 1. My gratitude to all members of

    this great movement we call "Tabling"and appreciate the efforts each of you

    have taken to make this year a

    memorable one. "Unity is Strength" and

    this year through the collective "Power Of

    One" we have been able to deliver from

    our heart as a single unit. We stand

    committed and steadfast to this movement

    for it has given us a platform to rediscover

    ourselves through this journey of self

    improvement.

    The joint Area Sports Meet and Trek at Madurai

    was a fantastic event with great participation

    from every table. Innovative games like the Paint

    Ball spiced up things and fellowship was at its

    best. HRD too had a lot of focus with PTBATs being held in Madurai, Trivandrum & Cochin. We also had the

    Area Leadership Conclave at Thekkady, the National TTT at Cochin & the Photography Workshop at

    Kumarakom.

    I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all members of the tabling community in Area 1, especially the team

    "UniTeam" that helped guide the Area for the tabling year 2011-2012. It is through your hard work,

    determination, perseverance, attitude, vision, passion and action that the year has been wonderful and the

    Area witnessing a closer association within its members and with those of the community.

    Every Table under dynamic leaderships have excelled in what they set out to do covering all facets and

    ensuring that the individual tradition of the Table lingers on till eternity. The RTI Golden year has given us the

    opportunity to do more meaningful services to the community through various FTE and non-FTE projects and

    many Tables in Area 1 have availed the opportunity. I'd like to thank IPC Sejoe & AVC Promod for being with

    me every step of the way. They are an inspiration and I'm sure Promod will take Area 1 to greater heights. The

    Area Honorary Tablers Rakesh & Santhosh with their vast experience in tabling were the true guiding spirit

    behind the scenes and AST Sridhar was a pillar of strength I could fall back on anytime. It was great working

    with you all towards the single goal of "Service Through Fellowship" through the "Power Of One". We continueto grow, not just by the internal and external extension of the movement, but in our belief that we can achieve

    what we truly believe as a team.

    Thank you!

    Enjoy Tabling Through The Power Of One!

    Thanks & Regards,

    Area Vice Chairman's Message

    Yours in Tabling,

    Tr. Promod Joseph

    Area Vice Chairman

    Area 1 is an Area that comprises of a

    fantastic group of Tablers who

    epitomize the collective power of one.

    Fellowship, projects, fundraisers,community service, HRD, be it any pillar of

    Round Table, Area Chairman LMF Tr. Bejoy

    Varghese and his team have been the force

    with the Area this year.

    Area 1 was well represented for all nationalth

    events including the 50 National AGM at

    Chennai and the COB at Mumbai. Tr. Senthil

    Annamalai of Trichy RT 54 and Tr. Sunil Salunke

    of Trichur RT 88 represented the Area at the

    National Executive. Their leadership andcontributions were well appreciated by the

    Tabling fraternity across India. The national

    initiative 'Train the Trainer' was organized at

    Cochin, where three Tablers from Area 1 got trained

    as Round Table India Trainers.

    We congratulate Area Chairman Tr. Bejoy and Area

    Secretary Treasurer Tr. Sridhar for an astounding year

    gone by. The theme 'Power of One' was demonstrated

    in all aspects of tabling and the area has grown from

    strength to strength.

    It's a pleasure to be a Tabler and even more to be an

    Area 1er. Let us all keep Tabling fun and keep the flag of

    Table flying high.

    Area Secretary / Treasurer's

    Message

    Dear Tablers,

    Warm greetings from the Area Board!

    It had been a challenging journey for me

    from being a less travelled Tabler for

    several years to take up the position of

    Area Secretary / Treasurer of our ever

    vibrant Area 1. The motivation and

    encouragement to take up Area

    responsibility had come from several

    Tablers but it has been Past Area Chairman

    Sq. Leg Sujay Giridharan who was

    instrumental in me taking up this

    responsibility. I challenged myself to travel

    across the Area frequently and show greatercommitment to the travelling aspect of Tabling

    in particular.

    Area Chairman Tr. Bejoy Varghese has been a

    great leader of Area 1. I cherished working under his leadership. He was most understanding

    during a difficult personal phase mid-year and maintained his composure and kept pushing me to

    come back and I salute his perseverance.

    The experience and the learning that I have gained being an AST have been immense. Interacting

    with the NST, fellow ASTs from other Areas, Table Chairmen & Secretaries in Area 1 and with Area

    Convenors and fellow Members of the Area Board has been an enriching and enjoyable experience.I wish to thank Past NST and Current NVP Tr. Harish Shenoy, Area Vice Chairman Tr. Promod and

    Immediate Past Chairman Tr. Sejoe for their support during the year. I also wish to thank Past ASTs

    Tr. Abraham George Jacob (Jeeth) and Tr. Jabyson Philip for being a source of guidance and

    support. The most enjoyable part of the responsibility came with the tested Tabling tradition of

    travelling to other Centers in Area 1 and meeting old friends and making lots of new friends too.

    The fellowship and bonding in Area 1 is something that is always special and this touches a deep

    chord within.

    To the best of my abilities, I have endeavoured to do justice to my responsibility as AST of Area 1. As

    I sign off, I wish to congratulate all the Table Secretaries of Area 1 for the impressive work that they

    put in for their respective Tables the last year! I wish to thank all the members of the National and

    Area Executive for their co-operation, and my Table MRT 14 for the confidence shown in

    nominating me and the entire Area for accepting me and condoning my shortcomings during the

    year and embracing me well. Last but not the least, special thanks are due to my dear wife

    Cr. Nithya and my dear son Twinkler Rishi for all their patience & understanding through the year.

    Best regards,

    Tr. S. R. Sridhar

    Area Secretary / Treasurer

    National President's Message

    Dear Bejoy,

    Area 1 has been bubbling with energy

    during the entire year. I wonder if it has

    anything to do with the leadership. Yes,

    it definitely does. You, my friends, have

    lead the Area from the front. Your

    participation, enthusiasm and ever smiling

    face would have definitely rubbed off on

    the rest of the Area.

    This year we saw wonderful participation

    from Tablers of Area1. This included

    participation in TEXT, Inter-Area Cricket, Inter-country cricket in SL, NLC in Hyderabad, NAGM

    in Chennai. We were also very happy to have

    AVC Tr. Promod attend the AVC meet in Goa and

    AST Tr. Sridhar attend the AST meet in Hyderabad.

    Over and above your Area came forward to host the TTT in

    Cochin which is also highly appreciated by all the Tablers

    of the country. Apart from this we have also seen

    innovative and wide variety of activities take place within

    the Area including support to building FTE schools under

    the Golden Jubilee Funding.

    With the momentum that has been set during this Golden

    Year of Round Table India by Area 1, I'm sure the new year

    will no different and even better. Hence I wish Tr. Promod

    and his team all the very best for the new Tabling Year and I

    look forward to close interaction with Area 1.

    In Tabling,

    pleasure to have on the National Board Tr. Sunil Salunkhe, Tr. Senthil Annamalai, NHT GeorgePoothicote & of course Area Chairman Bejoy. It was wonderful working with you. Thanks so much

    for the valuable support through the year!

    of Area 1,

    Warm Greetings to you from your NationalVice President!!

    Congratulations and a deserving pat on your

    back for the fabulous year gone by!!

    The year gone by has indeed been a

    momentous one. We witnessed all Tablers of

    such as fellowship, projects, community services,

    fund raising & publicity with amazing zeal and

    enthusiasm.

    I can proudly say Area 1 has excelled in all the facets

    of Tabling with the Power of 1!!!

    well!

    National initiatives like MOMO, C Form Online etc.

    Round Table being a purpose driven organization, all of us

    can look back and take immense pride in the fact that the

    phenomenal success achieved by us has been mainly due to

    the unflagging commitment drive and more importantly

    passion exhibited by every single fellow Tabler.

    AGM at Quilon & many other events of Area 1 as your

    30. Address by Area Chairman (Outgoing)

    LMF Tr. Sejoe Jose addressed the gathering. Excerpts of the speech are given below:

    Greetings to the chief guest! I first want to thank God Almighty for giving me this

    opportunity and help me lead Area 1. I remember the time when past Area Chairman Sq.

    Lg. Sujay and Tr Deepu Paul had come to me at the mid-term asking me to stand for the

    Area Chairmanship and I accepted the same. Though I was still in two minds, but at GCRT

    102 stag trip my Table sends my nomination.

    All was well while being the Area Vice Chairman. But then at Madurai last year when I took

    up the post of Chairmanship, the fear sank into me. The reason being, the history says that

    if one has to be area chairman you should have a family business and during the

    chairmanship you take a sabbatical from business and rest of the family members will cover

    for your absence. But for me I am one man show and also being in committee of other

    organisation like CII, SKAL and KTM.

    I have also heard that the opportunity of being the chairman of Area 1 is greatest

    opportunity to develop oneself. Keeping both the positive and negative in mind I was

    ready to move on and lead Area 1. I would now like to share a video which will help me

    explain how I could lead area 1 as in area 1 you are not alone . As past national President Tr.

    Vivek theme stated Together we can Together we will ( A very moving videopresentation on togetherness ensued which depicted a child taking the initiative to clear a

    tree blocking the road and all onlookers who were just watching till then joining in the fray

    and clearing the road )

    I take this opportunity to thank my Area Board for the excellent support during the year. I

    thank GCRT 102 for being there for me throughout the year. I thank all of you for your

    support and cooperation.

    I also want to thank my parents and friends and two important people in my life my

    daughter Mariam and wife Diya who made lot of sacrifice and helped me be Area Chairman

    and lead Area 1.

    29/77

    I would like to say to all Tablers of Area 1, that there is a saying that Round table gives you a

    lot and by taking responsibilities we give back to the wonderful movement. But I would like

    to correct, my friends that you are not giving but actually taking more by taking up

    responsibilities as you would learn more and make you a better person.

    Wishing AVC Tr. Bejoy and team all the very best for a great year. I am sure Bejoy will make

    Area 1 grow.

    I sign off by saying: - Keep Smiling Keep Shining Let Area 1 Grow

    Dear Tablers,

    Let me first congratulate our Area Chairman LMF Tr Bejoy Varghese and

    AST LMF Tr S.R.Sridhar for the wonderful year.

    Area 1 in International relationship started with a bang with MRT14

    hosting the world 14 meet at Madurai. With a good start there was

    nothing to look back for Area 1. All Tables of Area 1 hosted few

    International Tablers who were travelling in our region. Hosting the YAP

    delegates by the Tables of Area 1 was another feather in the CAP. In

    addition few Tables of Area 1 had gone for International trips as part of

    outstation table meetings.

    Each Tabler of Area of Area 1 on personal level also did their contributions

    towards International relationship. Those who travelled abroad ensured

    that they would meet the Table of that Country and exchange pins, Tr

    Kichu of KRTRT 121 and Tr Kuraikose of TBRT 126 are the best examples.

    Once again thank you all at Area 1 for all your co-operation and wishing

    our Incoming Area Chairman Tr Promod all the best for the year ahead.

    Thanks

    Dear Tablers,

    Taking up our Area Chairman's offer of a relaxed post in the Area Board

    was in my mind a safe bet. The post of Southern Star Editor seemed like a

    job, in BVs words, which was an end of the year affair where Tablers would

    be sending in articles and photos in the hundreds and my duty was to

    collate edit and put together neatly in a trendy magazine for the year.

    Little did I know that one had to be a master in the art of begging, cajoling

    and arm-twisting to get anywhere with this job. But nevertheless I hope

    that the magazine has come out well. It is going in to print as this is being

    written and hope to be in every Area1 Tablers hands in the coming weeks.

    All said it was an enriching experience, thanks to LMF Tr. Bejoy Varghese -

    it was a pleasure working with him and our ever resourceful team. Thank

    you all for the opportunity and please send me your feedback once the

    Southern Star is in your hands.

    Tr. Samith Thilak

    Dear Tablers,

    Plans for the year were quite up there during the start of the year

    as is for almost every convenor I guess. Tr. Bejoy Varghese our

    Area Chairman was quite hopeful that I would deliver as a

    Corporate Alliance convenor this year.

    The idea was to have every area of tabling roped in by things that people do normally.....Buying

    cars or having a meal at a popular restaurant, holidaying in nearby resorts , Shopping white

    goods and daily use items was something everyone did. I thought it would be a great idea if a

    percentage of the money spent on all these things by Tablers went into FTE projects for tabling.

    Especially, since it was a fact that most of the above regular things to do would have something

    to do with another Tabler. Either a resort would be owned by a Tabler or most showrooms - be it

    white goods or car dealers are owned by Tablers in the city. Easy Peezy Lemon squeezy.. I

    thought.

    Flash a card at each of this stores/destination. Have each of these stores display a roundtable

    logo... (Publicity) and get everyone to offer a small discount to the Tabler. The discount offered

    or a portion of it was supposed to go to FTE. Concept- Brilliant I thought. Little did I realise that

    the project I thought I'd deliver on was something which required a lot more manpower and a

    system which would take a lot more effort and mainly time. I don't think anything is not doable.

    The scale at which I had ideated and the issue of not being able to travel to all destinations toachieve it left me wondering on how I would achieve this. Also, I hear that there were similar

    initiatives earlier at the National Level which didn't really take off. The Magnitude of the idea got

    the better of me folks.. I should have tried to achieve this objective stage by stage. Next time for

    sure.

    As far as corporate alliance at the Area Level is concerned... It really went nowhere from where I

    took it on..I hope to make amends by contributing to tabling in whichever way possible in the

    years to come. Fellowship and other facets of tabling, I have been very much a part of and that's

    pretty much the reason for most of us to be a part of this wonderful movement.

    Area Chairman Tr. Bejoy... You have been a great leader for Area One. Thanks very much for

    having me in your board in SPIRIT. It was great fun indeed. The Power of One vested by you this

    year remains.

    Looking forward to fun times in tabling.

    Yours in Tabling

    It has been a very active year of

    fellowship at Area 1. Enjoyable

    Dear Tablers,

    It has been privilege for me to serve Area 1 as the publicity convenor not only

    because I saw the role as one that was fulfilling but more so because of the

    fellowship and support of my fellow Tablers in the endeavour. The year was one

    that saw all Tables in Area 1 participate actively and it is hard for me to highlight

    just a few when each Table made an effort to ensure that their respective projects

    and activities got all the publicity they deserved. However, I would like to highlight

    a few events that were most noteworthy.

    Publicity Events of the year

    MRT14 Food FEST- Unlike many other food fests organized in most urban settings, the Tabler of MRT 14 decided to do

    something different. The Suvai Durbar generated huge publicity not because it was another wonderfully organized

    food fest but for something as special as the Guinness Dosa Attempt which was covered by leading TV channels like

    NDTV, IBN and some of the leading FM stations as well as getting widespread coverage in all the leading English andTamil newspapers. MRT really outshone themselves in the event.

    GCRT102- Publicity has not always been about just entertaining events in Area 1 and GCRT's 102 helped to showcase

    their HRD program at St. Thomas School in all the leading newspapers in Cochin. It was really satisfying to see the effort

    put in by all the Tablers for an event with such great value.

    KRTRT121- Another noteworthy event was the superb food Festival organized by the Tablers of 121. It was an event

    par excellence and the food was simply mouth watering. In fact the event was so well organized that it received a lot of

    attention from the press and electronic media and was greatly appreciated by RTI as well.

    TBRT126- Among my favourite events of the year was the butterfly garden at Valapillashala. A very unique effort by

    the Tablers, and one that was aptly covered by the media. It just goes to show that Tablers can do more than just

    organize the usual events!

    CBRT131- Love on the brink, a fundraiser by the Tablers of 131 got a lot of publicity in the local media, which includedthe Deccan Chronicle, Times of India and the Indian Express.

    RSRT158- If Love on the Brink got a lot of publicity for 131 then the musical organized by the Tablers of 158 was an

    even greater hit with the people who attended the gala event. Needless to say it was also covered across all local media.

    CRT71- Infamous for their ability to organize the best parties in town, their New Year party was a grand success with

    noteworthy sponsors like The Muthoot Group and Mercedes Benz funding one of the greatest events of the year in

    Cochin. The event was attended by Tablers and their families across Area 1 along with a large number of Square Legs

    and there was a good mix of old and new age music provided by a live band followed by a DJ.

    ERT214- Even our youngest Table in the Area was not to be outdone and they came through with their own when the

    much talked about 'Sevens' football tournament was organized with resounding success followed by a well attended

    dinner at the Dreeme hotel. It seems some had to take their disability pension in advance and even in this matter we

    had our Area Chairman leading from the front!!!

    The following lines cannot even begin to describe the support I have received from all the Tables and their respective

    publicity convenors. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your efforts, enthusiasm and those crazy pictures!

    As always the Tables of Area 1 have lead from the front and my role as the Publicity convenor was greatly enhanced by

    the support and the enthusiasm shown by all. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this opportunity and wish

    the future Publicity convenor all the best.

    Dear Tablers,

    First of all I thank the Area chairman Tr. Bejoy for

    selecting me to serve as the Area Extension Convener

    (Area 1) for the period of 2011-12.

    Hope I have fulfilled at least some of his expectations. Even though there were no

    table extensions this year, we have seen so many inductions in many of the tables

    amidst few retirements and resignations. I think this is a welcome sign.

    MRT14 stands first in having highest number of active Tablers and sadly TRT 54 yet

    to induct more Tablers to achieve the average table strength of 15.

    As you all know fun was not lacking in the previous entire tabling year, be it at the

    I AEX or III AEX, fellowship was at its peak.

    Once again I thank AC Tr. Bejoy, AST Tr. Sridhar, and AVC Tr. Promod and not last

    but the best my own Table NRT 176 for giving me an excellent support (3

    inductions).

    Thank you all

    Warm greetings to all fellow Tablers, Ladies and Twinklers of Area 1!

    I take this opportunity to thank our Area Chairman Tr. Bejoy Varghese for

    entrusting me this prestigious job.

    This year, Twinklers from all Tables of Area 1 have had many activities

    including the talent show. I have to mention that TRT54 took their

    twinklers to The HINDU press and showed the children how the

    newspapers were printed. The saying goes that normally you never

    forget the first experience in any activity. I just hope that the experiences

    of all the twinklers were memorable.

    Thanks for the support and co-operation

    Cheers!

    As a convener for 41ers was a relatively new initiative at Area 1, we

    started the year by encouraging Tables of Area 1 to host a social for

    41ers during RTI week or in the week preceding the 41st day of the

    year.

    Another initiative of my tenure was the launch of a website

    dedicated to the square legs of Area 1. This website will serve as a

    connect for Tablers of Area 1 with the past stalwarts of the Round

    Table movement at Area 1. The website is access controlled and

    contains among others, contact details of all square legs of Area 1.

    As this is intended as a sustainable initiative, the website can beupdated periodically by the Area IT Convener in conjunction with

    the 41ers Convener. I would like to thank Area Chairman Tr. Bejoy

    Varghese and Area IT Convenor Tr. Mohan for the guidance and

    support in driving this project at Area 1.

    Tabling Year 2011 2012

    I thank the Area Chairman, LMF Tr Bejoy Verghese for

    bestowing me with the responsibility of handling the IT

    related maPers for Area 1 for the year 20112012. I

    thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the role, and during this period I had an

    opportunity to interact, and enjoy the company of a lot many tablers in the

    Area.

    Activities for the Year :

    Creation of Uniteam Groups :

    The activities related to the IT arena kick started with creating a forum for

    communication amongst the newly appointed AEX and Table Office Bearers.

    To this effect, going with the theme of the tabling year, we created the

    'Uniteam Google Group'. All the AEX related communications were routed

    through this group. The group was formed pretty quickly and went on to

    become the backbone of communications among the group.

    Whatsapp and Way2SMS

    We had created this group initially so as to have an alternate for AEX and TOBs

    who may not be online all the time. But due to restrictions in using these

    forums, both technologically and monetarily, we discontinued it later on

    during the year.

    Area Calendar

    The accuracy and upkeep of the Area Calendar was one of the primary

    functions in this role. The following activities were done during the current

    year.

    Round Table India Area 1 Annual Report 2011 201252

  • 7/31/2019 2011-12 RTI Area 1 Annual Report

    53/77

    The Area Calendar was set to repeat reminders only until Dec 2011, and

    hence we had an outage in sending reminders during the initial months of

    2012.

    Many of the new tablers', and new table's (ERT214) data were to be

    uploaded in to the Area Calendar.

    Nearly 350 entries were redone in the calendar (including many of the

    Sq. legs information, as much as we got)

    All these entries were set to repeat YEARLY. So from now on, these

    reminders will keep coming in to the RTI Area Group FOREVER, until the

    group is active.

    RTI Area1 Email Group

    We have a very active RTI Area1 Email Group. We have moderated the group

    so that only RTI related matters are circulated and unrelated matters are not

    forwarded.

    Facebook & TwiBer:

    Facebook and twiPer are two strong social media tools we have today in our

    midst. So this year instead of a Blog, which is 'text' heavy; we chose to use

    these two platforms to connect to tablers in the area and across the world.

    We have updated the FB page regularly with news feeds of tabling events

    across the area, and we are proud to have 305 likes in the FB page, which is

    more than double of what we started with in the beginning of the tabling

    year. This clearly shows the reach the FB page has got. More insights on our FB

    page following is given below in the charts.
