Dear Friends,

Happy Valentines Day !

Sunday 14 February is Valentine's Day. Wishing each and everyone a Beautiful day filled with Love and Happiness.
Last Friday Mr. Anil Sukhija (Chair-ICCC Seniors), discussed the Buddy Program, at great length. I hope it got everyone motivated to organizing Buddy groups of 5-7 members per group, to connect and support each other through this program. Each group must select its group leader and forward the information to Mr. Anil Sukhija ASAP so we can get this project functioning by the 13th February.
