A short Rotary visit and exchange

... from Don Mitchell

Fellow Rotarians,

Below is the sort of enterprise in the use of the Rotary Directory that I really admire. It is what the Club Directory is there for. If one of us was going to Bhavnagar on a cruise I am sure there would be a dozen local Rotarians who would volunteer to give up an hour or two on a Sunday morning to give us a quick car tour. If one of you is free to help, please reply directly to Past President Kiran Oza and copy me with the message.

YIR - Don

Respected Rtn. Friend

I am PP Rtn Kiran from RC Bhavnagar (Dist.3060)., will be visiting Anguilla on 14 January 2007 Sunday from Morning to Evening, arriving by Easy Cruise Ship for this short visit.

I would like to exchange the Rotary Club banner Flag.

My wife and I will be there for few hours. May we request you that if one of the Rotarian friend can show some interesting places of Anguilla, we will be highly obliged.

Thanking you

Yours in Rotary

Sharing Christmas Joy

...from Ray Whittaker, District Director International Service 7020

Christmas is a time of sharing with our family and friends, and as this Festive season comes upon us, may we not only give thanks for that which we have, but may we also remember those that have gone before us and who contributed so much that we enjoy today,and those that are in need of our help in our Communities and around the World.

Whilst we sometimes overlook it, it is in International Service that Rotary is most known. The millions saved through Polio Plus, Food,Water and Health, Environmental Programs, Shelter Programs, Schools, Conflict Resolution Programs and the list goes on.

At the request of our Think Caribbean Coordinator, PDG George Banning, we encourage all clubs that have Twinned to share your various Christmas/New Years traditions this year with your Twinned Clubs. Share how each is spent and copy this to PDG George at GWB6890@aol.com . He will arrange for these to be posted on our Thinkcaribbean.org website.

I would ask you to take this a step further as we plan our Christmas and New Years Festivities,and share our traditions and well wishes to all clubs around the world that we will partner with this year in International Projects / World Community Service Projects.

Let them know We continue to remember them, That We Lead the Way in Caring and Sharing.

May each of you,your families, and the members of your clubs have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Early as it may seem, by the time you turn around it will be past you. Let's make this little District the shining Star on the Christmas tree of the Rotary World.

Yours in Rotary Service

Ray Whittaker District Director International Service 7020

An experiment for the Rotary Club of Anguilla

Welcome! This blog is an experiment. Post current news items to keep the members up to date! As I began this in August, 2006, the weather in Anguilla was 82F but in Parry Sound it was only 59F.

Today is November 30, 2006, and it's very cold and gray in Parry Sound. I know that the weather in Anguilla is sunny and warm, but that's not news!

If I get this to work, we can share information this way -- it might be fun. After all, do you even know what a blog is?
