[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since SI Poona was chartered in April 1991, we celebrate our Charter Night in April every year by meeting at an informal dinner with family and friends. This is a much awaited event every year where the new executive committee is also selected.<\/p>\n

We celebrate International Literacy Day in September when we distribute scholarship cheques to our deserving girl candidates, under our \u2018Let me Bloom\u2019 project. The performance of each girl is evaluated, and fresh cheques for the coming year given for those continuing their studies. Fresh
\ncandidates are also selected and a total number of 10- to 12 girls are awarded scholarships. The girls are asked to speak about their goals and dreams and encouraged by members to achieve them. Mothers of successful candidates are also invited for the event.<\/p>\n

Another important event is the celebration of International Women\u2019s Day on 8th March every year. On this day we felicitate women of substance for their contribution to society. It had been decided that in addition to our chosen awardee, we would also felicitate one of our own members for their achievements and service. This year we had therefore chosen Ms. Meenkshi Ahuja, a leading hospitality trainer, also specialising in personality development and lifestyle related skills, and our own senior member Anu Wakhlu, Chairperson and executive director of Pragati Leadership, working in the field of Leadership Development and Human Resource Development for the last 30 years. There is a brief talk by the selected candidates about their work and interesting interactions with SI Pune members.<\/p>\n

Besides these fixed events we have our regular monthly meetings where our business matters and future programs and plans are discussed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]
