Page 66 of 80 announcements, a CC for the food and beverages, and a CC for all the arrangements at the venue. I will deeply appreciate volunteers who come up for these responsibilities. We are forming a study and advisory group to help us get better services from the ECHS. We will meet the Maj Gen Med at Area HQ and the Director ECHS at Station HQ. We will also meet the GOC and place our concerns before him. Surg Capt CV Natarajan will coordinate the study. Volunteers who have come forward are Cmde Shekhar and Brig VA Subramanyam. Two more volunteers are needed. Wish you all and your families a very happy and colourful Deepavali. With best wishes Maj Gen CT Chari MEETING GONE BY: THE MEETING HELD ON 16 SEP 2012 The meet as usual started with tombola after the members and their families settled down. At 1030 there were only a few and the build-up was slow. . Since Col Varadan, our Secretary could not attend the meet, Col Suresh Rajan and Ms Lakshmi Rajan volunteered to help. So also Col DK Sabapathy. They assisted Col A Krishnaswami in manning the counters to collect the membership subscription and the payments for lunch. Our grateful thanks to them. The first house commenced a little after 1100 hrs. Brig VA Subramanyam was conspicuous getting the tickets sold ably assisted by Ms Lalitha Mohandas. The houses were played with enthusiasm. Those who won prizes included Durga Bai, Mohandas, Saroj Chandrasekaran, Indira Padmanabhiah, Devi Rattan and Alamelu Varadan. The snowball did not roll and we will wait for the next meet. A presentation by the management of Senior Care India Private Limited (SCIPL), an integrated at-home senior care institution providing comprehensive medical and non- medical services to elders, was arranged during the meet. SCIPL is guided and mentored by India's first geriatric professor Padmashri Dr.V.S.Natarajan. Knowing that elderly loved ones are safe and secure in their homes, even if they need assistance with daily tasks or medical issues, is the wish of all family members, who cannot personally care for their seniors. Many families have reached out to SCIPL for a variety of reasons, and SCIPL claims to be a responsible caregiver, committed to providing the assistance; elderly individuals need so as to continue living in the privacy and comfort of their homes without compromising on their safety or health. This useful session anchored by Sri Bharat Kumar, CEO was for twenty minutes followed by Q&A. NEW MEMBERS The following veterans are now our members: (a) Cmde S Shekhar (b) Col DK Sabapathy
