Pot Luck din din
Members of the Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam love food. We had no hesitation to have our first pot luck dinner on the 13th of July 2011 at Nikki Aggarwal’s residence. All Rotarians brought in exotic dishes to share. There were biryanis, greek salads, biscuit puddings, pizza, paan, a full bar and many more. Rotarians from the Oysterbay club, Mzizima club, Bahari Club and Mikocheni club that did not take the opportunity to miss out on this fellowship.
We initiated the evening meeting with the grace, loyal toast and the four way test. Immediately followed by a game of Tumbola (organized by Vikash Shah) where participants tried to bribe Rtn Nikki to pick out the “right number”. Two players won the full houses and shared the cash prices!
The highlight of the evening was the induction of AbbasKhimji that was preceded by our Country Chair, Harish Bhatt (who had just flown in from Joburg and joined us directly from the airport). Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam welcomed Abbas to the family of Rotary and took this opportunity as a reason to celebrate with great fellowship!
The night went on with a quiz “How well do you know Rotary” in which all tables were tried to use their blackberries to look for the answers.
To some the night was still young. Some music was provided by Ankit Bhatt, where the younger rotarians stayed back to enjoy a party night on a weekday.
All in all – with great fellowship, camaraderie with spouses and families, exotic foods, music, and games – the night proved to be a memorable one.
