- 2. “No one shall suffer in and around Delhi for want of Blood” A quart in time, saves far more than nine; a gallon in time is also fine, but maybe a little too much, you might need a crutch, so we only draw a few drops, about half a liter tops; helping others feels great, and we know you can’t wait. We are pleased to inform you that Rotary Blood Bank has organized a Walk for Blood on Sunday, December 5, 2010 from 8:00 am at Rajpath, New Delhi. All participants shall be provided T-Shirts and Caps with appropriate logos, apart from snacks and cold drinks. They are planning to mobilize 5000 participants from various institutions (schools, corporate, religious institutions, NGO, hospitals etc ) for this Walk. The Walk shall have a large number of Rotarians, rotaractors, innerwheel and some celebrities walking with us on this 1.5 Km stretch on the Rajpath which will be widely covered by the Print and Electronic media. It is a great opportunity for us all and we would like you to kindly associate yourselves with this noble task. We shall be grateful if you could ensure participation in this Walk. The participants may be advised to make placards with inspiring messages about blood donation which they can carry during the Walk. The students/participants can also hold a banner(s) representing their respective institutions and clubs. Please notify us of the name and number of participants from your club at the earliest to make arrangements. You may include corporate, etc. We expect the Rotaractors to gather in good numbers. All the clubs should be represented from the district. Friends and family are also welcome. Let us all join hands to make this event a mega success!!! Page 2 WALK FOR BLOOD Donate Blood . . .

This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service. Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract Page 12 BITS ‘n PIECES Got A Story ?
