Meet & Greet Friendship Group

“Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer”

March 26th 2024 was a golden day for LCNL as on this day we launched much
needed LCNL’s Meet & Greet Friendship Group. The structure of this group
is designed to augment our Community members in their twilight years and
those who are retired and those who are looking to connect yesteryear youth
through remembering and taking part in the various activities that take place
for the group. Yoga to a game of cards, singsongs, dance, chai & chit-chat
and lunches are welcome for many and this initiative is very well received and
supported in our community. The health benefits of learning about health welfare along with
advisories on finance, loneliness, mental well-being are an added bonus. This club was much
needed as it brings new and exciting ideas to our lives.
Age is merely a number and the group that regularly attends are from all walks of life from
ultra-professionals to the seasoned experienced stalwarts of our community.

I am privileged to have launched this successful initiative with the team which was needed for
ladies & men of our Community.

Special thanks to LSC Men Chairperson Chandubhai Rughani & the LCNL’s committee for
their ongoing support and big thanks to Jyotiben Joshi, Prafula Chotai, Madhu Popat ,
Dhirubhai Savani, Amit Chandarana & Vinubhai Kotecha.

A very warm thanks to all volunteers who help selflessly, DLC management – Devendra &

Lunch is sponsored by Late Shree Amratlal Radia & Late Sushilaben Radia & Family Tea
biscuits are provided by Chandrika & Hasubhai Pajpani & Family.
