Beginning the day on a sweet note, club members attended a cooking and baking workshop helmed by chef Vishal from 26 Boulevard, Chandigarh. An art and handicraft exhibition where artists exhibited acrylic and watercolour paintings, and craftsmen showcased quirky bags and accessories was also put up at the club.

Speaking about the awareness drive, Kasauli Club secretary Col SS Sidhu said, “The basic ideology of the club is to promote compassion and humanitarian spirit and what’s better than being instrumental in saving someone’s life. Organ donation is an altruistic cause and we must wholeheartedly contribute to creating an enabling environment for voluntary organ donation.”

Several senior army officers pledged their support to organ donation.

In the evening, Flowing Karma Band, a band of musicians on wheelchairs, regaled the audience. The band was formed in 2019 as an initiative of the Chandigarh Spinal Rehab Centre.
