Dear Dr Kandewatte

The Inner Wheel movement of District 322 - Sri-Lanka will be holding its annual District Assembly on Saturday 6th May 2000. Further to my recent telephone conversation with you, I write to confirm our request for you to be the Guest Speaker at this event.

The Inner Wheel consists of the Spouses of Rotarians. Here in Sri- Lanka there are fifteen Inner Wheel clubs comprising of a membership of about three hundred. We have been involved in many social service projects in the past. The two most important ones this year was the donation of Rs. One Million to the Cardiology Unit for the Childrens' Heart Project. This involves setting up a specialised unit to serve the needs of paediatric cardiology patients. The other was the refurbishment of five classrooms at the School for the Deaf and Blind in Ratmalana.

At the District Assembly the new executive committee will take office for the year 2000/2001. The past year's work will be evaluated and the programme for the new year will be outlined.

You are kindly requested to address the membership on Gender Discrimination. It will be adequate if you arrive at the venue-Hotel Ceylon Inter-Continental Colombo 1 at 10.30 am. Your address approximately twenty minutes duration is scheduled for 10.50 am. This will be followed by a short tea-break.

Thank you

Yours sincerely

District Vice Chairman
