Leave a lasting Legacy

All these years ,all of us have been trying to make the world know of IW & its activities ,So when i was thinking over to give a"Theme for -2017-18". I thought to give a theme which each member would understand ,why i have chosen it.Entering into its 94th year of existence & 50th year of formation of International Inner Wheel worldwide & myself being 50th IIW President & yet even our nearest have not heard of our prestigious organisation.

Theme it self says that all throughout the year we would work towards publicizing & strengthening our organisation,s existence .Let the world around you ,your friends,family know of the service IW is doing to needy & is one of the largest women's service organisation.

We all need to be remembered to feel that we have contributed something to our organisation by contributing to the world around. For some this can be a driving force leading to a great accomplishment & extraordinary contribution to the mankind.But for most of us with more modest goals, what pushes us is the desire to ---Leave A Legacy.

Your Legacy is putting your stamp on the future of your organisation.It's a way to make some meaning of your existence.

---"Yes world of future,i was here,here is my contribution. .

There are many ways you can leave Legacy---

Leaving to young generation,are memories of good work done by us now to promote service to needy & friendship around us among members.

Or You can do more than just serve as a good role model ,you can take more active approach to Leaving a Lasting Legacy,Providing a History--- Research history of your club/ District is a wonderful way to let your new member know ,as well add to your personal contribution.

Your Legacy grows each time you inspire others to see something thro to fruition.To help guide as a leader & keep them moving in right direction.

If you were to leave your current post in IW today--what is the legacy you would leave behind ? How would others remember you?

At each level of your working in IW ,you learn how to keep creating sustainable impact & influence on community or members in the organisation.With each step you take ,you will identify new ways of creating long lasting impact of your service or communication style to tell the world around of your organisation.

With wishes for a yet another New IW Year,Pledge to make a difference in the way you serve the community or your organisation at all levels,Let each one of you leave an impact around you to Leave a lasting Legacy for IW.

Warm Regards,

Dr Kapila Gupta
IIW President 2017-2018
