Rotary Coimbatore Uptown – Profile and History.
Rotary International saw the genesis of yet another club in the year 1996, in the then RI Dist. 3200 in Coimbatore – ‘Rotary Club of Coimbatore Uptown’. It was sponsored by Rotary Coimbatore Midtown and was chartered on April 23rd. An organization no matter how well it is designed is only as good as the people who work and grow it. Uptown was chartered with 25 members, who have woven the fabric of community activities with their relentless contributions and has travelled 25 years with 40 members. Uptown is in its cusp of activities while celebrating the Silver Jubilee Year 2020-21.
At the time of inception the average age of its members was less than 30, bubbling with enthusiasm and energy and did plenty of projects to promote youth development in sports. Uptown conducted Mini-Marathon for over 17 years continuously for young boys and girls. It adopted a village – Mathvarayapuram and took care of the infrastructure development of a Government Higher Secondary School. Regularly, Uptown recognizes young talents and suitably awards them. Periodically Uptown has organized RYLA for management students in the city. Rotary Coimbatore Uptown in its journey has given birth to four new clubs, namely RCC Manchester, Millennium, Zenith and Legend.
Uptown’s Signature Project was the ‘ Kovai Flower Show’ in association with TNAU which could draw 3 lakhs of visitors, added to the public visibility and image building exercise, and was recognized by Rotary International as well. Apart from regular projects in all Avenues of Services, it has contributed to TRF by way of making the club 100 percent PHF, another feather in its cap. It’s contribution is on a regular basis for Pulse Polio to RI. Now Uptown’s per-capita contribution is significant in the RI District 3201.
Currently it is focusing in the development of a school in Karadimadai village, improving the infrastructure facilities. Other community services are supported by its dynamic Rotaract Uptown Club. Uptown has two Interact Clubs as well.
It is a proud moment for the members of Rotary Coimbatore Uptown celebrating the Silver Jubilee Year, despite the grips of the Covid pandemic scenario. The club has bigger dreams and passionate Rotarians to take it to the next level. It has already made an everlasting impression in the District, and still in its elegant strides towards excellence.
