2022 marks the first year that Rotary International has elected a female as its President, Mrs. Jennifer Jones, and I feel privileged to be taking on this role under her leadership. It truly is a great time to be president of this amazing club, Rotary Club of Grand Cayman Sunrise to work alongside the board and all our members in 2022 - 2023!
This year’s theme is IMAGINE ROTARY, and with that, I have already challenged the board to imagine and enact at least one new project for each of their committees. I have also previously challenged the club to think big and imagine something they would want to see us do or accomplish throughout this year and let us see if we can get it done, or at the very least get it started.
We are a strong and resilient club with people of passion and drive and I know we will continue to make our mark. As a club, we will continue to do good work in the community, continue to be mentors to our young persons, and assist more in the realm of mental health and Alzheimer’s. Eradicating polio continues to be one of our main initiatives through Rotary International and we will continue to support this effort, we are so close! The HANWASH project is also an area that we as a club will strive to further assist as this is a project right here in our regional community, District 7020.
At the start of this New Rotary Year, I would like to leave you with some words shared by our RI President, Jennifer Jones… “each one of us gets the same number of minutes, how we choose to live them is the important question. On July 1, the clock starts ticking, how will you use these minutes?” Let us start imagining what we can do, IMAGINE ROTARY!
President Karelle DaCosta
