Dear Members,

After taking up as Cadre Representative and soon after as Secretary of IASOWA – life has become verrrry busy. How the day starts …. and ends…. In such a whirl ---- a whirlpool actually – where I am going deeper inside the IASOWA world and its’ just the beginning and how I‘m enjoying this !

As a child, I used to jot down my thoughts – which then became poetry and later on with the passing of time ….somewhere this habit vanished !!

Now as Secretary, when I was asked to frame invites …. the habit resurrected. I hope you are liking the programmes, invites…? ! I especially loved doing the August month one – where the letter sent to you all was written in my own handwriting.

I would greatly appreciate – your ideas, advice, suggestions on how to improve our programmes or whatever you would like to see in the New Year.

This journey, so far would‘t have been possible without dollops of enthusiasm, a dash of empowerment and a generous amount of freehand from Mrs. Jaya Chandershekhar, the IASOWA President.

So before winding up – here’s wishing all you wonderful IASOWA members – a Merry Christmas & A very Happy 2011. Hope this new Year brings a lot of joy, contentment, good health à may be through our forthcoming events !!!

God Bless …….Lots of regards ‘n love,

Smita Pande
Secretary, IASOWA
