ITTAPDY(Information Technology Traders Association-Pondicherry) Celebrated its 2017-18' Family Meet on 25th February 2018 at Grand Serenaa Hotel & Resort as proposed by all its members’ family. Even though, the city has a massive welcome arrangement for our beloved PM Narendra Modi who has been scheduled to participate in Auroville-Matrimandir golden jubilee year celebration.
Our members were worrying how to reach Grand Serena Hotel without any trouble from the PM’ tight security arrangement by traffic polices. FM' participants were too supposed to use the same route as that PM would have taken to reach his meeting venue. Luckily our members reached the resort much earlier than PM’ arrival.
We started off with the welcome drink and gathered in the Hotel’s meeting hall. Three children from members’ family sung the prayer song with their melancholic voice that was appreciated by everybody. They felt that it was very different and better than the stereotyped digital one.
ITTAPDY' President D. SoundaraPandian delivered a short warm welcome speech to address all participants. The family meeting had a very well planned agenda. After prayer song, our members’ children were singing, dancing, reciting and chanting etc to show off their talents and received great appreciation with loud applause. Of course, there were gifts from ITTAPDY’ President-D. SoundaraPandian on behalf of the association to encourage the future endeavour.
Our very promising event managers Ganessan & Saravanan had conducted games for children, wives of the members. Along with card games for members to keep them completely engaged throughout the event. Winners have received their prices from members happily as if they were outstanding from the college cultural competition.
ITTAPDY' office bearer team was honoured by memento-shields; their fellow members have completed all assigned activities successfully for the welfare of the association. The honouring categories were such as Children Swimming Gala, Orphanage Donation, Sports, members tour, family meet, E-waste awareness program, GST training with Tally, Health Insurance, Personal Accident Policy, COMPEX2018(Computer Exhibition), Job Fair, Government conducted meeting, Participation and supported PTF (Pondicherry Traders Federation) for their social activities & public grievance address. Members Presentation, Product promotional presentation by sponsors, members birthday celebration. Finance management training program.
The honouring ceremony was very well anchored by Ganagasekar-Auro Av tech. Palaniraj-CPR InfoTech honoured our members' children who have passed 10th std & HSC with good score in their examination.
Besides, ITTAPDY' Members have honoured their past & present presidents for their leadership qualities. Members have taken their group photo with their 2017-18 Uniform, Homemakers, Children and officer bearers have taken their group photo as a memento.
After completion of very good buffet lunch, children & members dived into the swimming pool; while children were watched & safeguarded by their moms. When some members had gone for site-seeing and the rest have gone for snapshots back rounding resort properties.
ITTAPDY thanked Ganessan, Aravindhan & Saravanan for their dedicated services for this Family meet to come out very well. Members have appreciated and liked their new uniform which has been chosen by Aravindhan & Sabarinathan.
Members have received family-kit bags(gifts from members to their intra families) as end of the event. Members were walking out with some positive comments like the first seen people of the newly released movie. The FM ended happily and very well written as a memento in participants mind.
