Message from our Club President
DIPA KAPADIA

It is a privilege to serve as the president for this incredible community of women in its Centurion Year. Yes, this is the Centurion Year for the Inner Wheel Organization.

To me, the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Bayview is more than just a club, it is a family where we support and empower each other to make a positive change.

This year, I hope to focus is on humanitarian service, friendship and personal growth. Together, I would like to work towards improving the lives of those in need, developing ourselves as leaders, and building stronger bonds of sisterhood. Over the years, the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Bayview has been making a proud mark within the District and we should carry on this tradition.

The theme that I would like to use for this year is “You attract the energy that you give off…Spread positive vibes.” By spreading positive vibes, we can uplift and inspire others, fostering a more positive and harmonious environment. Positivity has a way of creating a ripple effect, influencing the people we interact with and even shaping our own mindset and experiences. So let's strive to radiate positivity, kindness, and optimism, as it can make a meaningful difference in our lives and the lives of those around us.

the Centurion Theme of “Shine a Light” adds an extra layer of significance to our endeavors. I encourage each and every member to get involved, to share their ideas, and to collaborate to make this year a special year.

I am sure through our collective efforts we will “Shine a Light” and make a real difference in the lives of others.
