Excerpt from President’s address at the installation of President Roger White at the E-Club of the Caribbean 7020’s first meeting of the new year 2022 – 2023 on 9th July 2022.
“Historically, our club has consistently punched above its weight and certainly since I joined in 2017 the successes of the club indicate that most members on most days do in fact know they can and do make a difference. So that is all good and in this new year we should take that history as a springboard to continue with that same commitment and enthusiasm which members have shown up to now.”
 
Club members salute incoming President and 4 decade plus Rotarian, Roger White.

INTERACT CLUBS BACK IN SESSION IN MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA
 
In early April, 2022, the welcome chorus of Rotary’s Four-Way-Test was chanted by newly inducted members of the Interact Clubs of Mount Alvernia and Cornwall College in a ceremony held on Friday April 2nd at Cornwall College’s pristine chapel.
 
Hosted by the Executive Committee of the Interact Club of Cornwall College headed by President Joshua Flynn, this Interclubbing & Installation event was a long time coming after 2 years of online meetings and socially distant projects and included the participation of neighbouring school Mount Alvernia, led by their President Hanah Chow.
(The Montego Bay High School held their installation earlier in the year, led by President Akili Duncan, inducting 19 new Interact members.)

Altogether, 83 new members of the Rotary International family were inducted into Interact with certificates and logo pins.
 
After the formalities, each school took it in turn to entertain with talent items, quizzes and games before refreshments were served.
 
 
 
What a delight to be surrounded by Interactors once again as schools in Montego Bay, Jamaica re-opened for face-to-face classes.
 
In attendance, from the family of Rotary, were: Past District Governor Haresh Ramchandani; Assistant Governor Elect and Youth Services Director of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean Natasha Parchment-Clarke; President of the Rotary Club of L.I.F.E, Nickeisha Campbell-Brooks and Cornwall College Alumni and Rotaractor Ivan Godfrey.

Please join us in congratulating the Rotaract Club of Port-au-Prince Champ de Mars for their winning entry to the R.O.A.R Competition!

This year's competition asked Rotaractors to discuss how they would approach a critical issue that affects one of the target groups from the Rotaract District Project - T.E.A.M. (teens, elderly, adults (young) and mothers).

Congratulations to Port-au-Prince Champ de Mars!
