“To Rotarians, the answer is simple. The change that we seek should always start with Rotary’s 1.2 million members worldwide being committed to service above self,” said President Hanley. “We have certainly achieved quite a bit in our first ten years and we look forward to building on our achievements with your help and support as a community.”
RCL members participated in the morning’s service by reading scripture lessons and the Club presented a monetary gift to assist the wonderful work of the Boys and Girls Brigades.
RCL continues its 10th Anniversary celebrations with an inter-club cricket competition with the Rotary Club of St. Kitts on February 23, 2013. Other upcoming commemorative activities include a Peace Forum, Concert/Night of Entertainment, Easter Dance-A-Thon Competition, Etiquette Training Seminar and Anniversary Fête.
