Club Meeting 21st December Recap
During the meeting on Wednesday, December 21st we completed the election process for the 2023 - 2024 Board. You are encouraged to select the 'Read More!' button below to view the official results.
After the election proceedings we then commenced the Secret Santa gift exchange, a scrumptious Christmas buffet, caroling accompanied by a very talented keyboardist followed by lots of fellowship.
Pictured above are some highlights from the 2022 edition of the RCBS Christmas Gift Exchange which took place at Hotel PomMarine on December 21st.
Pictured above are members of our club along with family members and Rotaractors that participated in the Feeding the Needy initiative held on December 26th in Independence Square, Bridgetown.
Rotary International
Nestled on a fjord-like bay along Montenegro's Adriatic coast, the town of Kotor is a time capsule. With its medieval Old Town area, overlooked by a hilltop castle fortress, the city accounts for a significant percentage of Montenegro's cultural heritage sites. The Rotary Club of Kotor celebrates this history and cultural heritage through its fundraisers and projects, which have supported everything from the town's orchestra to a traditional maritime organization.
The 2023 District Conference will be held in Grenada from April 13th - 15th. It is recommended that you register early and take advantage of the early bird rates as preferential rates have been secured with some hotels. Book early because rooms will fill up quickly!
The Hosting Organizing Committee has been working diligently to ensure our 2023 District Conference is all you expect and more!!!
Congratulations are extended to the Rotaract Club of South Barbados Board of 2021/21 on receiving the Platinum Award in the 2021/22 Zone 34 Rotaract Awards. The Club had some impressive accomplishments in the 2021/22 Rotary Year, so it's only fitting that their actions were recognized through the Zone 34 Rotaract Award.
The Board received the award certificate from Rotary Coordinator Mike Darragh and AG Giselle Holder congratulating them on the award last week.
The Rotaract Club of South Barbados will be celebrating its 12th charter anniversary on January 13th, 2023. To honour this milestone, a fellowship meeting will be hosted on January 14th to celebrate and reflect on the growth of the club.
