Our 4th GBM was on Zoom. The corresponding fellowship was organised as a family treasure hunt on 3rd Oct 2021. Prizes were won for Best Dressed Team as well as the winning prize for the first team to arrive. Our judge for the Best Dressed Team was Zonal Cordinator of Zone 1 Yamini Iyer. We were thrilled to have her join us and the members enjoyed interacting with her before the event started. The youngest participant was a one year old kid who was a member's son. This treasure hunt was a food trail where every team had a specially assigned food dish which was pre-ordered for them - but they only got it if they guessed the clues and completed the treasure hunt! All in all, lots of fun and food were had by all!!

It was such a proud moment for our Club as District Vice Chairman Mita Sheth accepted the post of District Chairman 2022-23. To have one of ours hold this esteemed position, just as we celebrate our 10th Year of Charter is indeed a moment of pride for all of us who are a part of IWCBB.

29th March 2022: 8th GBM & 10th Year Charter celebrations

On the 26th of March, we had not just our 8th GBM, but also the mega spectacular 10th year charter celebrations. This grand event was held at the Reserve Banquet in Upper Worli. 50 members attended this event, which all were very enthusiastic and excited about.

This day was all about celebrating the Past Presidents for their hard work, dedication, love and care given to IWCBB, due to which it has grown to proudly shine as one of the best clubs of Inner Wheel!

The surprise factor was inviting their family to this event, as they played a very important role during their Presidentships. Red rose petals were showered on the red carpet for each past president, and their family spoke sweet somethings about them. Every Past President was given a gift, along with a different song, especially dedicated to each of them, when they walked the red carpet. Current President Grishma Doshi introduced each PP with a self written and personalised shayri.

We displayed a photo gallery of the one project that was closest to the heart of every PP in her year. A South Indian sit down dinner was served for the evening. District Sec Pallavi Choksi, District Treasurer Prerna Raichur and District Editor Mona Gyani graced this occasion with their presence, making the evening that much more memorable.

30th April 2022: 9th GBM & Movie Fellowship

The 9th GBM was held electronically and for our associated fellowship, we went for Runway 34 to Inox at Nariman Point. 26 members came for this movie and we had a great time bonding with each other. The first half of the movie had our heart beats racing and kept us on the edge of our seats. We all enjoyed the movie and the camaraderie shared will be remembered for a long time.

4th June 2022: 10th GBM, 4th ECM & AGM

My year's last GBM was held at St Regis, along with the AGM and 4th ECM of the year 2021-2022. I have come full circle, having started my journey from St Regis with my installation, and now ended my journey here as well, giving my thank yous to all my members!

This was followed by a minute to win it games and the members had a blast. A big and tasty lunch awaited them and they each went home happily with a gift from the President Grishma Doshi.

This was an emotional meet as my Presidentship came to an end, with having created so many beautiful memories that will last me a lifetime.

My heartfelt thanks to you, my wonderful team and all the beautiful IWCBB members for this fantastic year!
