District Chairman Vidhya Subramanian was happy with our club performance in all aspects. The books were maintained correctly, the projects were well selected and executed, and our active participation in District projects and events was noted.
Member Kanan Mehta exchanged ISO Flags with Bangalore Clubs.
President Tejal Damani exchanged ISO Flags with Surat Clubs.
It was a privilege to represent our club at the West Zone Meet, Surat with Mita Sheth.
For the ISO event, 5 Pink Auto Rickshaws were inaugurated by Dist 314.
Bayview co-sponsored the Auto Rickshaw project.
A very "festive" look, plus the colourful vegetables, topped with the enthusiasm of all our members made the perfect recipe for an enjoyable and funfilled afternoon. The veggie carving workshop was undoubtedly a hit!
The most awaited event of the year, our annual overnighter trip, was to Bhopal this year. Staying in luxury at the Jehan Numa Palace hotel, our group of 28 ladies had a super vacation!
No one would have thought of Bhopal as a vacation destination- but from the airport we went directly for local chaats and an immediate full heritage experience with our special guide, Sikandar Mallik. He took us around the timeless lanes of Bhopal for a "Heritage Walk" by bus. This was followed by a sumptious lunch at the very opulent Jehan Numa Retreat.
For the evening festivities, we embarked on a specially arranged boat ride, which ended in a Super Bling themed party at the hotel.
Next day we went to Van Vihar and after breakfast went for a visit to The Sanchi Stupa. It is an amazingly well maintained structure from 2500 years ago. The evening was spent visiting the Taj Ul Mosque and doing some local shopping. Back at the hotel, we had a Dhamaakedaar Games Night!
By the time our departure day came around the next morning, each of us felt the deeper bonds of friendship and felicity, which we have carried back with us, along with some very with fond memories.

The 7th GBM was held along with our flagship event, unbroken since the inception of our Club, the well loved and much anticipated Indradhanush.
The InQuizitive event, held at Ravindra Natya Mandir in Prabhadevi, and attended by 130 members of Dist 314, was such a super success!! It was much appreciated for the innovative game concept, for the perfect timing and conduction of the game, and primarily for the unique concept of the Prize money, which was an amount given to the winner's Inner Wheel Club, to be used for their charitable projects!
Many thanks to the Quiz Conductor Dr Tushar Shah, as well as our team of dynamic IWCBB members who put this together - Hemangi Shah, Mitali Maniar, Nimisha Mirani, Mita Sheth and Tejal Damani.
We had our 9 th GBM cum fellowship on 5 th March 2019 jointly with IWC of Bombay Hanging Garden and Mumbai Nariman point and total attendance of 100+ members. It was a pre Womens Day Celebration. The members dressed to the Gatsby theme with lot of enthusiasm. We had casino tables with tokens, with prizes for the top 3 scores overall from each Club. Smeeta Jhunjhunwala and Rajni Barasia got overall prizes and Payal Sheth, Tina Jhaveri and Aditi Ahuja won at Club level.
We couldn't wait to celebrate our 8th Charter Day and so instead of the scheduled 31st March date, we all met on 24th of March, for the movie "Kesari". Our members, spouses, children and parents were in attendance, decked out in themed "kesari" outfits for the movie. Total attendance was 30.
A proud day indeed for Bayviewites - we earned 3 awards/certificates from the District!! First, our Club received the Platinum Award for Outstanding All-round Performance on the basis of the projects we executed in most avenues.
We were also awarded the certificate for Most Innovative Project for our Ambulance donation. The third certificate we received was for Significant Contributions to Urban Projects.
What a great close to this year!!
