THE ROTARY CLUB OF CHERRY BLOSSOM INITIATIVE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE CLUBS FUTURE PROJECTS THROUGH THE SALE OF DECORATED AND PAINTED DIYAS WAS A HUGE SUCCFESS. THE CLUB TOOK THE BOLD STEP OF PURCHASING 2000 DIYAS AT A COST OF RS 4,000/- .FEW CLUB MEMBERS DECORATED THE DIYAS WITH VIBRANT COLOURS AND GLITTERS. THE DIYAS WERE THEN PACKED IN SETS OF 10 AND SOLD AT RS 200/- PER PACKET. WITH THE HELP OF FEW MEMBERS WHO WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SELL TO EVERYONE THEY KNOW , THE DIYAS WERE SOLD OUT FEWS DAYS BEFORE DIWALI. AFTER DEDUCTING THE COST PRICE AND EXPENSES FOR BUYING PAINTS ETC, WE MADE A PROFIT OF RS 34,500/- THE BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED DIYAS WERE A HIT WITH THE CUSTOMERS, WHO APPRECIATED THE EFFORT PUT INTO MAKING THEM. THE CLUB MEMBERS WERE THRILLED WITH THE RESPONSE AND ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR NEXT YEARS SALE. THE CLUB WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND ITS GRATITUDE TO MEMBERS WHO HELPED IN PAINTING THE DIYAS AND IN SELLING THEM AND ALSO TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THIS SALE .
