Any new beginning when started by the blessings of our elders brings prosperity and good luck. Our club also believes in this saying. So, on the day of our installation ceremony, our club donated 5 hand woven mats to the Sevayana Trust (old age home ).
Mr Srinidhi trustee of Balya Foundation provided the mats for this project .

Innerwheel Club of Mysore Gold thought of
Honoring Doctors for Their Extraordinary Efforts and their hard work and commitment, especially during this health care crisis. We all know we are going through a challenging time, and we would like to express how much we appreciate everything they are doing to take care of patients and to take care of each other.
Thus our Club came up with a novel idea of giving Doctor Sushmitha Ompraksh a relaxing day and arranged for a pedicure and manicure session for her.
The doctor was overwhelmed by this gesture and readily accepted the session.
We the members of the cub really had a sense of satisfaction for having taken up this as a project this doctor's day.

Mother (Amma) , a place no one can take. The emotion which no one can express. It is such a special feeling you have for this parent.
To celebrate her being we had a lunch get together at our club member Mamtha's residence.

Started to think of this very seriously and thus conceptualised the great event of SHE A Fashion show for INCLUSION. It definitely was a bold step taken by the Club embers to ahead with the project with all concerted efforts put in by our President and Secretary.
We did good response from the public I,e, the citizens of Mysore who gladly purchased the tickets for the event and encouraged us to go ahead. The Intent for the above event is much broader as the club intents to provide this Transgender self-sufficiency and has thought of helping them with setting up a restaurant or likewise with the help of Mysore Corporation Authorities.

Annadanam" is made up of two words - 'Annam' which means food and 'danam' which means the act of giving or donating. Annadanam is called the 'Mahadanam' among the various kinds of danam. Charity in the form of annadanam is a way in which you can contribute to life itself. The wise men of ancient India called hunger the greatest disease. It is a disease that afflicts everyone and there is no cure for it.The Puranas say that the stomach is like an 'agni kund' that plays host to fire - one among the 'panchabhoots' that our body is made up of. It demands offerings in the form of food constantly and regularly.

If the offering is denied, life ceases to exist and the body becomes empty. Helping to provide for this agni kund is more virtuous than performing thousands of yagnyas.
We Inner Wheel Club of Mysore Gold along with 7 other clubs of Mysore donated Rs. 10000/- towards Akshaya Patra foundation which feeds 20000 children everyday in Mysore.
