ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THURS – 09/02/23
1). President – Vinod Parekh announced : * It was fantastic to see even our elderly members joined in the Zumba since its start.
* We had announced about the habit of members washing their hands after lunch in the Black bins or in their dishes. We are sad to see that this is still happening and we are having many difficulties. From next Thursday, this will not be tolerated and we intend to keep a special watch. Anyone found doing this will face action like fines. We do not like to take this step and hope that everyone will co-operate. Water is for drinking only. For washing hands please go to the outside basins or use tissue papers.
* I am going on family holidays and will not be here for next two Thursdays. In the meantime our Secretary – Purnimaben Mehta and Jayeshbhai T Shah will take care.
2). Today we had Zumba workout by Debjani and it was a wonderful sight to see the Hall was Housefull with members eager to join in the workout at the very start at 11.00am. Debjani started with giving instructions on how the workout will start. Everyone joined in the dancing moves with zeal and vigour with music and soon everyone realised that the dancing moves were full of fun to burn calories without even realising. Music was just amazing – with even Bollywood tunes. Debjani did several moves to tone up most of the body muscles. It ended with everyone joining in “Let's Twist Again” (last time we did it in 1960s !!!). All members enjoyed the Zumba so much that they requested more of such programmes.
3). DONATIONS : A special bottle of 'Chai Masala' from India was brought by Pushpaben Patel for members to enjoy the afternoon Tea. Many thanks from NVK.
4). After lunch today we will have a very interesting programme of “Couple Game” with humorous questions and as usual at Tea Time, NVK will serve Tea, Coffee and sponsored Biscuits.
(Today's lunch menu included : “Keri no Ras” and puri, “Patarvelia na paan - Patra” etc)
(The afternoon Couple Game started with 6 couples on the stage and after a song about Couple, where everyone joined, Mahesh Savadia asked some interesting questions to the couples to which quite enjoyable answers were given. Many members had stayed for the Programme, which was very captivating. The couples taking part were :
Bhartiben and Shashibhai Shah
Bhartiben and Rameshbhai Shah
Bhartiben and Kumudbhai Mehta
Jyotsnaben and Vinodbhai Bakhai
Chandrakantbhai and Indiraben Mehta
Meenaben and Mahendrabhai Vora
Each couple were put through a series of 4 questions on how well they know each other.
Then only one spouse was asked a question whilst the other one had to leave the Hall. The same question was asked to the other spouse whilst the one who had given an answer was told to go out of the Hall. The funny answers were compared by the judges who then gave marks to each couple. The Judges were Purnimaben Mehta and Meenaben Shah. In the end the Judges declared the winners as Jyotsnaben and Vinodbhai Bakhai. Token prizes were given. Everyone enjoyed the game.)
