...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
