A Unique event in Rotary's History @ R.C.Madurai West :

In the year 1985-86 Rtn. Dr. K.A.Ramalingam was the President and Rtn. Sacs Narayanan was the Secretary. The President elect was Rtn Lalji Vora and the Vice President Rtn. Nan Narayenen

Rtn.Dr Ramalingam resigned from the club in the middle of the year and the Board offered Rtn. Lalji the post of President for the remaining part of the year PLUS his scheduled term ( One and half years). But Lalji declined saying that he has prepared himself, to take over only in July 1986. Hence the Vice President Rtn. Nan. Narayenen took over as President.

Therefore in July 1986 Nan installed Lalji as President and in this photo he is seen pinning the President's pin on Lalji. Nan then became the President-elect.

The very next year, that is in July 1987 Rtn. Lalji installed Rtn. Nan as President. In the second picture Lalji is seen handing over the charter to Nan, while Rtn. P.V.Parthasarathy, then Dist. Governor (wearing his Governor's collar) looks on with all smiles.

Nan installs Lalji and gets installed by Lalji. Perhaps it has not happened anywhere in Rotary's history so far.
