Dear Friends and Well-wishers,

It's time for us to celebrate the 3rd birthday of our dear SHaDE!!

Yes, it has been 3 full years of service since its birth on 1 August 2008.

Yes, I mean it. Right from its birth, SHaDE had never rested or paused due to any circumstances and had been running successfully! I could recollect those sweet things when I had started off the group which are always evergreen and fond memories.

Started with less than 15 people in Aug 2008, the total contribution in the very first month was Rs. 4,050/-. Today, SHaDE has obtained around 200 members in the year 2011, with an average contribution per month is Rs. 15,000/-!

I thank the almighty at first, and then my parents and family members, all friends, sponsors, partners (BOOKVOOK, TeamIndiaShirts) for our BookPerMonth initiative, last but not least, all well-wishers like you for having been with me through all the stages of nurturing our baby - SHaDE!!!
