New Board Installed 

On July 9^th, at the picturesque Bentley Mansion, a venue with so much history and aligns so eloquently with the theme “Let’s Make Rotary Magic”; the 2022-23 Rotary Club of Barbados Board was installed.  The ceremony was held under the patronage of the President of Barbados, Her Excellency Dame Sandra Mason, GCMG, DA, QC and featured the Barbados Police Band who serenaded Rotarians and guests during the cocktail hour.

 

 

Rotary is the oldest service club in the world with a global network of 1.2 million individuals serving in 200 countries with more than 35,000 clubs in a cohesive force for good.  Rotarians see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.  The most notable example at the global level is the three-decade fight to eradicate polio.  Rotary is a unifying force, promoting peace, diversity, and inclusion while helping to eradicate diseases and remove hunger and poverty.   Rotary gives hope.  Rotarians take action.

 

Rotary was introduced to Barbados 61 years ago and our club was chartered in 1962. From its inception, the Rotary Club of Barbados has always been able to conform to the long-established principles of Rotary International in recruiting its members and filling classifications from the top executives in business, professions, and services.  

 

Our club consists of over 90 members serving the community and working to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; save mothers and children; support education and grow local economies.
