Dear Club President,
I extend my warmest congratulations to you on assuming the esteemed role of Club President and
welcome all your members in this first year of our second century. You have the most important
position in our organisation, since the Club and its members undertake various projects under
your leadership and guidance. When a positive spirit comes alive in our clubs, we inspire our
communities and when our communities are inspired by our service and presence, we inspire new
members. It’s a powerful cycle.
We embark on our second century of service, with the theme for the year 2024-25 - Heartbeat of
Humanity"-Every Beat Counts, Every Action Matters. We shall continue to breathe life into
this commitment through a series of goals that align with the heartbeat of humanity, e.g.
- CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION: SAFE FUTURE -- Together, let us collaborate to raise
awareness and vaccinate young girls. Target is 10 million girls 9-14 years.
- E-CLUB: THE WAY FORWARD FOR INNER WHEEL -- Together, let us Adopt contemporary

nature thrives, ecosystems flourish, and future generations can enjoy the beauty and bounty
of our planet.

lifeline of our planet for generations to come.
- ELDERLY CARE -- Together, let us uphold "Old is Gold" and ensure our elderly receive the
love, care, and respect they deserve.
- NURTURING ORPHANS -- Together, let us imagine a future where every child is cherished,
protected, and empowered to pursue their dreams.
I urge upon all of you to embrace this theme wholeheartedly, weaving its melody into every aspect of
your club's activities. Together, let us strive to make a positive impact on society through innovative
and constructive projects that address the needs of our community.
I commend to you the priceless advice of noted anthropologist Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that
ever has.” Yes, we have changed the world, and will continue to change it, in a positive way! Yes, we
can do it! Yes, we will do it - together!
I would like to thank you all in advance for your sincere efforts, dedication towards the goals of the
Inner Wheel Year 2024-25. I am sure your club members would become heartbeat of a large section of
society.
With warm regards

Dear Esteemed District Chairman
I extend my warmest welcome and heartfelt congratulations to you for taking over as DC of
your District in the first year of our second century of IW. As District Chairmen, you hold a
significant role in facilitating communication, fostering a sense of belonging, and guiding
your teams towards excellence. Remember that your leadership is not just about the present;
it is about nurturing the leaders of tomorrow who will carry forward our vision. I encourage
you to keep pushing the boundaries, embracing innovation, and promoting inclusivity. Let us
work together to empower our members, strengthen our communities, and create a lasting
legacy that will inspire generations to come.
The theme of the year is "Heartbeat of Humanity." Every Beat Counts, Every Action
Matters. Everything we do with the essence of our shared humanity is to honour our
uniqueness, embracing whatever comes on way. What matters to all of us is inclusion,
kindness, honouring our past and building a present that serves the greater good.
I am always guided by the timeless wisdom found in the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred scripture
that holds profound insights and teachings applicable to our lives, both individually and
collectively. I would like to share some examples
-
Selfless Service: In the performance of one's duty, one should not be driven by personal
gains or rewards. Instead, focus on serving others with dedication and compassion.
- Resilience and Determination: Endurance and perseverance are the pillars of success.
In the face of challenges, remain steadfast and committed to your goals.
- Unity and Collaboration: Recognize that we are all interconnected. Work together
harmoniously, for true strength lies in unity.
- Embracing Change: Change is the law of the universe. Adapt and embrace it, for it
paves the way for progress.
- Leading by Example: Leadership is not about authority; it is about setting an example
through one's actions.
Let us adopt these teachings and apply them in our journey with Inner Wheel during this
new century and beyond. As we embrace this year’s theme, we are reaffirming our
commitment to be a powerful force for good in the world. Lets’ take a pledge to remain
the Humanity’s Heartbeat forever. With hearts overflowing with love and gratitude, let
us embark on this journey with renewed vigour, knowing that together, as one Inner
Wheel family, we can make a profound difference in the world.
I am sure under your guidance all your clubs and its members would excel in serving
the humanity. Thank you all in advance for resonating in the hearts of humanity.
