Club Journey (5 feb 2015- 5 f3b 2016)

Can u believe what all the club has gained in a span of not more than a year..I would rather call it an amazingly stupendous whole year!!

What the team dreamed of achieving in the salad days of the club has now been attained to a very great amplitude. On 5th February 2015 no one in our team thought that we would be such a success. The most astonishing being  the crown of 'Club of the month' which in my opinion is not a cup of tea for everyone.

This startup year for our team was lustered by learning ,teaching ,fun and frolic. Events like Genesis and Avensis are the highlights of Coherent's success. Hindi Campaign too was a great success. Along with many successful events the club contributed in a lot of other areas and  projects.  

I remember when I first heard of this brilliant concept and was instantly fascinated  by it . The concept of  giving and gaining to and from the internet in order to make the internet a better place for everyone..Just like Michael Jackson wrote in his song " Heal the World". In our Case it is " Heal the Web". Sounds good. Right? ;)


There will be many more events in the coming future. Better and more succesful than the previous ones stretching the capabilities of the associated individuals to the fullest..

Stay tuned for further such amazing event news and accomplishments.
Till then take care.
Enjoy.
