Due to seasonal closure of the George Town Yacht Club Rotary Sunrise will be holding their regular 7am meetings at Legendz Bar & Grille in The Falls Plaza on West Bay road across from the Westin Hotel.
As we near the end of celebrating Membership Month, we are happy that guests and past Rotarians were able to join us. The weekly meetings were filled to encourage membership, foster camaraderie and build partnerships and each week there was an activity or 'surprise' for those in attendance.
Below are some of the things we did if you missed it:
Ice breaker - "People Bingo" - Members had to network around the room to fill bingo cards with a name of a member or guest present at the meeting who matches the description in the square.
"Brown Paper Bag" arts & crafts - We brought out the creative side in some of our members and guests as this activity promoted our partnership with Rotaract Club of Grand Cayman in support of their monthly lunch program in the Cayman Community Rehabilitation Program.
Festive decor - Each meeting was decorated with celebration balloons and table confetti stars to help get members and guests into the celebration mood for the month.
Fellowship Happy Hour event – Hosted by Michael's Genuine, this was the first fellowship for the Rotary new year and boasted 33 people in total. Those in attendance included members, spouses, kids, Rotaract members (from both clubs) and an honorary Rotarian.
Diversity Map - To show how diverse our club is, a world map was was set up at two meetings to encourage members to plot their gender pin on a world map of where they were born.
