Raj Somani for a splendid evening where more than
hundred Rotarians with spouses from Nine Rotary
Clubs with our DG Rtn. Ajay Agarwal and his gracious
wife Mamta Agarwal were listening to one of the best
motivational speaker of India- Sneh Desai. He
mesmerised the gathering with his ultra positive and
powerful Aura and taught the process of '7 STEPS TO BE
RICH'. An unbelievable S-M-A-R-T Technique to achieve
your goals, because the impossible says, I'M POSSIBLE.
