President's Message
Greetings Ladies!
I hope this finds everyone well. We had a lovely meeting early January with a speech given by Jo Frogbrook with “Hints and Tips for Surviving Madras.” I think those of us there, even the ‘old timers’ got quite a bit out of the talk! Hopefully, you will find the information useful. If you were unable to attend, please contact me or someone from the Membership Committee. We’ll be happy to email you a copy!
Our next event will be the Garden Tea hosted by the Japanese Consulate. Lan has graciously agreed to let us enjoy her lovely garden and get a taste of Japanese culture. There will be an Ikebana demonstration, Japanese Tea Ceremony, and even possibly learn how to make sushi rolls! Tickets are limited for this event – so please contact someone on the executive committee to secure one.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Thompson
President

Experienced Driver and Car
The following message is from former OWC member, Natasha Nolte:We are leaving Chennai once again. Our driver, Sekar, who owns his own car, is looking for a new family to work for.
I can’t speak highly enough of Sekar; he is a reliable, experienced, safe driver. He is one of the few people here who never exasperated, annoyed or let me down (and that's saying alot!). Sekar worked for our family for several years, during which time he proved to be an invaluable asset. He has always been punctual, reliable, honest and respectful. Besides being a driver, he has been a babysitter, electrician, plumber and all round Mr. fix-it to our family. He is wonderful with children, and our son Lorcan absolutely adores him.
In between our stints in Chennai, Sekar has also worked for Suzanne and Trevor Townsend and the Yamamoto family. He has excellent references from both families and both highly recommend him.
Sekar’s car is a 2001 Ambassador Grand, which we originally owned. The car is quite roomy and comfortable, and Sekar keeps it in immaculate condition and good running order. Our family loved riding around in the Ambi, finding it quite stylish and retro.
Sekar can be contacted on 988 464 3429. The person who gets Sekar will be extremely happy with him!
