Dear Inner Wheel Sisters,
Warm greetings!
As we enter the third month of this Inner Wheel year, I am truly inspired to see our clubs moving forward with enthusiasm, friendship and a strong commitment to service.
On 8th August 2026, I attended the 27th Installation of the Inner Wheel Club of Klang, my home club. The theme, Azure Elegance, beautifully reflected an evening of graceful celebration, inspiring leadership and warm fellowship. The Past President’s dedicated leadership and the incoming President’s charismatic speech made the occasion even more meaningful and memorable.
On 15th August 2026, I made my first official District Chairman’s Visit to the Inner Wheel Clubs of Kuantan/Indera Mahkota. I was impressed by their excellent preparation, well-preserved historical records and engaging question-and-answer session. That evening, I had the honour of attending their 39th Installation Night, themed A Touch of Rose, a memorable celebration of past achievements and future aspirations.
In between these visits, the District Executive Committee and I have been actively preparing for our upcoming District Annual General Meeting. I sincerely appreciate the dedication, cooperation and teamwork of every Executive Committee member working behind the scenes to ensure its success.
District Chairman and District Executive Committee Installation, themed Petals of Elegance, will be held on 18th September 2026 at Première Hotel Klang. It promises to be a memorable evening of celebration, elegance and fellowship.
This will be followed by the 46th District AGM and Training on 19th September 2026. I warmly encourage every member to join us. Your presence, active participation and valuable ideas will strengthen our clubs and help shape the future of our district.
While social media reflects the wonderful fellowship and service taking place across our clubs, it has also brought distressing reports of women and girls facing bullying, abuse and emotional distress, with some tragically losing their lives to suicide.
These incidents remind us to look beyond what we see. Someone close to us, our mother, sister, daughter, friend, colleague or fellow Inner Wheel member may be silently struggling.
As we approach the Orange the World campaign, let us go beyond raising awareness. Let us listen without judgement, speak with kindness and create safe spaces where women and girls feel heard, valued and supported.
Sometimes, one sincere question, “Are you truly okay?, can open a door to hope.
“A caring heart may not solve every problem, but it can give someone the strength to face another day.”
Let us lead with purpose, serve with compassion and become a source of hope to those around us. Together, let us Grow and Flourish and help others do the same.
In Inner Wheel Friendship and Service

Dear Inner Wheel Sisters,
As we welcome the month of August, I would like to reflect on an exciting and fulfilling July. It was truly a month of new beginnings, filled with opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together.
One of the highlights was getting to know our dedicated District Exco and the Club Executive Committees. We successfully established our official communication channels through WhatsApp groups, strengthening our connections and ensuring better coordination throughout the year.
Our District Exco also conducted a series of online briefing and training sessions for Club Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, Club Correspondence and International Service Organiser. I am incredibly proud of our team for preparing and delivering engaging, informative and interactive sessions. Their commitment and teamwork were truly commendable.
What inspired me most was the enthusiasm and positive spirit shown by our Club Executive Committees. The excitement for this year's theme, "Grow and Flourish," was evident in every discussion. It is encouraging to see clubs already planning meaningful projects and expressing a strong desire to collaborate. This spirit of friendship, partnership and service is exactly what makes Inner Wheel so special.
July also marked the first Club Installation of the year, beautifully organised by IWC Kuala Lumpur with a James Bond theme. Although I was unable to attend due to my health, my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes go to President Sharon Tan and all the club members. I am confident they will have a wonderful and successful year of service, friendship and fellowship.
As we move into August, let us continue building on this momentum. Together, let us support one another, strengthen our friendships and create a lasting impact in our communities through meaningful service.
I wish every club a successful month ahead. May we continue to grow together, flourish together, and inspire one another every step of the way.
In Inner Wheel Friendship and Service

Dear Inner Wheel Members,
A warm welcome to the Inner Wheel year 2026–2027.
It is with immense gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility that I assume office as District Chairman for this term. I sincerely thank all the clubs and members for the trust and confidence placed in me and our team. My heartfelt appreciation also goes to the District Executive Committee, Vice-Chairman Lucy Barrock, Immediate Past District Chairman Jillian Estrop, Hon. Secretary Jaya R Samuel, Hon. Treasurer Catherine Govindarajoo, ISO Dr Sree Kala Nair, Editor Lena Chua and Webmaster Sumitra Sundram for joining hands, as we begin this exciting journey together.
I am deeply grateful to PDC Datin Sakunthalai, for introducing me to the wonderful world of Inner Wheel and to my mentor, IIWPBD Datin Seetha Lakshmi, whose guidance, wisdom, and encouragement have shaped me into the leader I am today. My sincere thanks to my home club, IWC Klang, for their unwavering support, and to PDC Padmini Menon and DEO Krishnaveni Mutthiah for providing me with opportunities to serve at the district level as District ISO and District Secretary respectively. These experiences have prepared me well for the responsibility I undertake today.
This year, our International Inner Wheel President, Ingelög Wyndham, has chosen the inspiring theme "Grow & Flourish". As we embrace this theme, let us remember that growth begins with strong roots. Let us honour and appreciate our senior members, strengthen our existing membership, and warmly welcome new members into our Inner Wheel family. By nurturing friendship, leadership, and service, we can build stronger clubs and a stronger district.
Our vision for this term is to strengthen membership, preserve the rich history of our clubs, provide leadership and skill-development opportunities, encourage greater collaboration among clubs and encouraging meaningful service projects and fellowship activities.
Together, we can create a vibrant and sustainable future for Inner Wheel.
