Dear [[JCI Mauritius Members]], [[Senators]] and [[Aspiring Members]],

Greetings from your [[National President]].

I hope that his message finds you in good health.

After the planning and preparatory period during the months of January and February, the month of March 2010 has been a productive one with the visit of a JCI Officer, the implementation of a [[NOM Project]] and the launching of a [[JCI Flagship Program]].

2010 [[JCI World President]] Visit 15th – 17th March 2010

[[JCI President]] [[Roland Kwemain]] visited Mauritius from the 15th-17th March 2010 to explain the Impact of One and encourage all [[JCI Mauritius]] members to take the challenge and respond to this call for action. During his stay he paid a courtesy visit to the Hon. Minister [[Sylvio Tang]], had lunch with 1994 World President [[Senator Arnaud Godere]] and other Senators, and participated in a Board Meeting with the [[NOM Officers]] and [[Chapter Presidents]].
