Rotarians Put the Fun in Fundraising
On Saturday Evening, Rotarians Frank and President Dawn serviced tables at Lauren's Restaurant in Buckingham Square for a sold out evening of great food and fellowship. The two of them raised $2120 to be shared between Rotary and Feed Our Future.
It was Ian and Sian Adams' tenth anniversary that night and ever the romantic, Sian brought yellow roses for her guests. Alas, our stalwart Rotarian was felled with the flu and the couple weren't able to attend. The roses still found homes with ladies that night, and sent a wish and a thank you to our anniversary couple.
Save Your Clothes For Guaruma

D.G. Haresh Visits Cayman
Submitted by President Dawn Cummings
DG Haresh arrived on Wednesday mid-morning and was greeted by AG Al Thompson. He visited the Rotary Club of Cayman Brac on Wednesday afternoon where President Lauriese and other members of her club treated him to a tour. The evening closed with fellowship at a weekly meeting of the Brac club where he was joined by a contingent from Grand Cayman, including representatives of Rotary Central, Rotary Sunrise, and Rotaract Blue. On his return to Grand Cayman on Thursday, DG visited with RCGC and Rotaract Blue.The two Rotaract clubs took DG on a tour of some of their hands on projects.
On Friday DG was hosted by the three Grand Cayman Rotary clubs. We started the day with a 6:45am interview on Daybreak (big shout out to past Rotarian Pat Kreitlow for helping to arrange this!), followed by an island bus ride where we visited the various projects the three clubs have worked on. For Sunrise this included a stop at the Mental Health outpatient area that had recently been given a much needed facelift (spearheaded by Rotarians Anthony and Jo with lots of help from RCGC), and also a stop at the Spotts Newlands Park which was brought to life back in 2010 by Rotarian Claude. One major highlight of the day was lunch at the Shetty Hospital in East End, followed by a tour of the facility.
On Saturday the Grand Cayman clubs each held board meetings with DG to bring him up to speed on our plans for 2016/17, and DG provided some very helpful tips on ways to make some of our projects more impactful. We closed the day with a joint club happy hour at the Westin, attended by members of Sunrise, Grand Cayman, Central, RCGC and Blue. DG Haresh and his wife Vindu left Cayman early Sunday morning and have promised to be back in the not too distant future.

August MMM
On Tuesday August 9th P.P. Christine Mathews hosted her MMM (Monthly Mentoring Meeting). It happened to also be a significant birthday for her that same day.
As well as a large contingent of Rotaractors, nine Rotarians attended the evening event that featured nurse Kathy Corley who gave us valuable information for emergency situations. Nurse Corley is a Canadian who has thirty years experience in her field. She works at Seven Mile Clinic.
