On August 18th 2026, our Guest Speaker was our very own Rotarian Esme, who spoke to us about Membership!
President Grace gave a few announcements - next week Tuesday we will be having a Zoom meeting with the Rotary Club of Anguilla! She encouraged everyone to attend!
She also informed us that the Club donated $600 to J&IS for their request to buy uniforms and school supplies for kids in need.
Fundraising Chair Wayne spoke about the Club putting donation boxes in the different establishments on the island! These funds will be used for our projects
Special thanks to Tony from Tony’s Airco in Colebay who already started collecting funds in the box for the Club! 👏💪🏼

Ways that members strengthen clubs:

Being in the Rotary Club helps in developing one’s personality, social skills, speaking skills and people skills!
She also encouraged the Rotarians to go on rotary.org to learn more information and to go to the Learning Center and do the courses
