In a delightful twist of fate, the Inner Wheel Club KL North (IWC KLNorth)’s Immediate Past President (IPP) Nallamah, embarked on a memorable journey to Chennai, India. While on the holiday trip, IPP Nallamah serendipitously carried the club's bannerette, which ultimately found its way to the welcoming Inner Wheel Clubs in Chennai. This unexpected exchange serves as a heart-warming testament to the bonds formed through chance encounters and shared values.
On March 18, 2023, a special gathering took place at one of the esteemed IW Clubs in Chennai, located at the Rani Meyammai Towers Clubhouse.

IPP Nallamah, had the pleasure of attending the meeting with the IW Clubs in Chennai which led to the remarkable bannerette exchange. This meeting with the presidents and members of the Inner Wheel Clubs as well as bannerette exchange set about fostering a sense of camaraderie and friendship.
It was through the kind assistance of Mr. Poobalan, IPP Nallamah's cousin, that the bannerette of IWC KL North made its way to Chennai. While he was visiting Malaysia, Mr Poobalan took the opportunity to collect a bannerette for each of the Clubs his cousin met and delivered them to Mrs. Suba, the International Service Organiser of IWC Chennai, on April 27. This thoughtful gesture further strengthened the connection between IWC KL North and the vibrant Inner Wheel Clubs in Chennai.
