Message from the President

16.MAR.07

Greetings Fellow Rotaractors!

The spirit of Rotaract lives on strong as we celebrate 21 years in existence. Let us acknowledge the hard work, dedication and rescourcefulness of those Rotaractors who have paved the way.

Rotary and by extension Rotaract have always been pillars in the community. It is our social responsibility to ensure that we work together to organize meaningful projects in our various communities. For 2006/2007 the main mission of the Rotaract Club of Kingstown is “Leading the way, strengthening our communities through Youth involvement and empowerment.” During our Charter Week celebrations we would be focusing on our youths.{{more}}

On March 13th which is also World Rotaract Day all clubs in district 7030 would be embarking on a community project involving juveniles and March 15th, a lecture on “St. Vincent and the Grenadines Child abuse reporting protocol.”

During the year we had our annual Spelling B competition for Primary school children and began a mentoring program for secondary school children under the theme “Each one teach one, reach back and lift as you climb.” We also assisted less fortunate children and their mothers financially and emotionally.

I leave you with these words from Kenneth Blanchard:

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something you accept no excuses only results. Devotion, dedication and duty add energy and possibility to the smallest ambition.”
