Respect RD Ym.George Daniel,His Grace,IPE,AP,Fellow Y’s men,Menettes,Lings,Youths and Guests…,
It is with feelings of pride, happiness and gratitude that I stand before you to accept the responsibility of
navigating the Central Travancore Region during the time when our Movement is entering into the second century of its successful existence and service. As your humble servant I accept the task you have entrusted to me with all humility. I am conscious of my limitations but I pledge to you that I shall do my level best to live up to the trust you have placed in me with the help of God and with co operation of all of you.
I am particularly happy to see that the chief guest of the installation ceremony is not less a
person than the International President Elect Ym Dr. K.C.Samuel and that the Regional team has been
installed by our dynamic Area President Ym.Dr.Anand Jacob Varghese .Both the leaders traditionally
belongs to our Region.
OUR MOTO
To acknowledge the duty that accompanies every right. This motto was adopted by Y’s Men because of the tendency of most people to insist upon full enjoyment of all rights while remaining oblivious to the corresponding duties giving validity to such rights. Just as the green light giving right of way to traffic on one street must have a corresponding red light to warn traffic on the cross-street of its duty to stop, so every right we enjoy is founded upon a corresponding duty.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in Toledo, Ohio, USA in 1922 to support a local YMCA, Y’s Men International is now oriented to serving the worldwide YMCA, the largest non-governmental youth organisation, and through it the communities in which it is present throughout the world. Since the YMCA is usually known as “the Y” in the USA, and as the Y’s Men movement started there as a club of “men of and for the Y”, it was named the “Y’s Men’s Club”.
