The Rotary Club of St. Thomas II (Rotary II) met on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, for an installation ceremony of its 46th President, Mr. Sinclair Wilkinson and the 2024-2025 Board of Directors. This auspicious moment provided Rotarians, family and friends an opportunity to fellowship and celebrate a joyous moment.
The 2024-2025 Board of Directors for Rotary II include: Jerry Smith, Immediate Past President; Ludence Romney, President Elect; Anette Williams, Secretary; Mike Toussaint, Treasurer; Glen Smith, Sargeant-at-Arms; Tonia Garnett, Club Administration; Jamilya Christopher, Public Image; Jonathan Tucker, Service Projects; Marilyn Blackhall, Foundation; Janice Hodge, New Generation; Andrea Dorsey, Assistant New Generation; Merle Kiture-Morgan, Family of Rotary; Sheri Charles-Rogers, Membership; Monique Richards, Director & Assistant Treasurer; and Eric Baynes, Director.
For the past 45 years, Rotary II has remained focused on fulfilling the mission of Rotary International through its commitment to service projects that create lasting change locally, nationally, and internationally. Rotary II serves as a part of District 7020, which is comprised of 12 countries and 16 islands, including the US Virgin Islands.
This year, Rotary is celebrating “The Magic of Rotary” under the 2024-2025 theme. In his installment message to fellow Rotarians and guests, President Sinclair expressed his profound honor of being a Rotarian. He spoke about the impact of Rotary and pledged to continue the fulfilling work of Rotary. His parting words were quoted from Nelson Mandela, “On the road to success, we will fall a few times. Don’t measure success by the number of times we fall. Measure success by what you do when you get up!”
With an extensive background as an Educator, President Sinclair is devoted to making our community and the world a better place. Since becoming a Rotarian in 2009, he has primarily held the position of Youth Service Chair and continued to dedicate himself to the children of our community through Earlyact, Interact, the chess club, reading club and many other initiatives. During the installation, President Sinclair spoke on maintaining the bar that Past President Jerry created, but this Club is confident that he will set his own bar that we’ll all be proud of.
