The new team is all out and determined to organize sports, cultural and social programs to the likeness and tastes of all its members in a spirit of goodwill and camaraderie that is unique only to Karnataka Social Club renowned on the island and fondly referred to as a “Family Club”. In fact, the past memorable history of the Club if we go down memory’s lane speaks volumes of it being a family fortress exuding the warmth sublime to all its members from a cross section of the Indian society, not just limited to Karnatakans. Many are they who have gone through its portals and left the island if not for better pastures elsewhere, to a life of retirement back to their native home with cherished memories and tales of a fond and loving association with the Club and its multi-faceted vibrant activities.
The President, Maxim Sequeira, minces no words in categorically stating his strong commitment to the Club along with his dynamic team members, to bring in the nostalgia of the past years gone by in making every program they undertake enthusiastically entertaining and beckoning. “Our main aim besides, is also to encourage new members to join the Club and increase the membership strength of 150 as it stands today” he says. This will help encourage his team to organize innovative entertainment programs every weekend, month after month, during their term. He has appealed to Members to suggest new ideas and come forth with sponsorships. Most of all, attendance of members with their families during Weekends and at Club’s functions in large numbers would go a long way in rejuvenating the vibrant spirits of the Club.
With the Holiday Season for school children commencing July, the Club has scheduled a fun-filled Summer Camp for the Children as well as guest Children from 4 to 7 p.m. every Fridays commencing 4th July organized by the Ladies Wing and dedicated volunteers. For more details of the Summer Camp and for Registration, kindly contact the Club on telephone:17-254257.

Let us wish Maxim Sequeira and his team of Committee members a successful term in office and all the best in giving the best of entertainment to the members and their families.
