Henry Ford (1863-1947) - An American Industrialist and the
Founder of Ford Motor Company quoted “ Coming Together is a Beginning; Keeping
Together is Progress; Working Together is Success”. When I reflect Fifteen
years back and marvel at the vision of Serendib Club Charter President Xavier
Maria Arulandoo and his Dream Team, this particular quote becomes so apt
and laudable. It is also praiseworthy mentioning that the present generation of
Serendib Toastmasters and it’s Gavel Cubs are doing a marvelous job carrying
forward the original vision with its significant mission.
Congratulations to the outgoing Club President Toastmaster Mohamed
Zubair and the two Gavel Presidents. It is delightful indeed to note the progress
you and your teams have made and achieved numerous accolades. This is very
commendable and we thank you for a job well done.
Congratulations to the incoming Club President Toastmaster Ferasath Cassim
and the two new Gavel Presidents for being elected to serve the Prestigeous
Club and steer its 15th annual path of success. It is heartening to note that you
already have planned several worthy projects ahead as part of your obligation.
This is awesome news!
Dear members of Serendib & its Gavel clubs, you are celebrating success
today from the achievements of yesterday. I believe victory is much
more meaningful when it comes not just from one person, but by the joint
achievement of many. Serendib has been such a marvelous club from its
inception . The past members have come together; kept the glow of progress
continual and worked successfully time and again. I think it is now your turn to
make it a fundamental duty to safeguard that vision and carry forward the seeds
of success as a Journey and not just a Destination. I wish every one of you
many more pleasant victories to come.
Long live Serendib !
