Minutes of Meeting January 20, 2025, was a red-letter day for the Rotary Club of Poona. It was the day we scored another "first“ by launching Rotary-Mate,an AI companion to the new website of the club, for answering questions on all things Rotary. It was a formal meeting as was evidenced by the well-cut suits of the gentlemen and colourful sa- rees of the ladies. District Governor Rtn. Sheetal Shah, ADG Dr. Prachi Pandya and District Director TRF Promotion Rtn PP Nitin Muley were gracing the occasion with their presence. The launching was done by the DG amidst joyful applause. ‘Rotary Mate’ is the world’s first multilingual AI Chabot, currently available in three languages – English, Marathi and Hindi with more languages in the offing. It will go live on 26-01-2025 and will be available to Rotary Clubs all over the world to answer all Rotary related questions either from a carefully curated list or one’s own. This groundbreaking innovation owes its birth to our “tech king” Rtn. Col Bha- rat Haladi whose expertise combined with dedicated hard work has revolutionized Rotary communication and made it available to all. Rtn Bharat’s creation reaffirms our status as “first amongst equals”! Three cheers Bharat ! The evening also saw the induction of the newly minted Rtn. Dipika Nanjappa, a second- generation Rotarian and the 20th lady member of our club. Rtn. Dipika, who is a dedicated social worker, and a keen bridge player is sure to prove to be a valuable addition to our membership. A third notable event was the distribution of certificates and pins to the newly enrolled Paul Har- ris Fellows. This latest addition leaves us just a little short of being a fully PHF enrolled club.
