The club in collaboration with Rotaract South Barbados, unveiled yet another Peace Pole on island. This time, at the Combermere School.

For those who may not be familiar with the significance of Peace Poles, they are powerful symbols of peace, echoing the profound message of unity and harmony. From the perspective of Rotary International, Peace Poles serve as timeless reminders of our commitment to promoting peace, not only within our local communities but across the globe.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated members and generous sponsors for their unwavering support of this impactful initiative. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in fostering a more peaceful and compassionate world.

Starting at the break of dawn, our members converged at the Granville Williams bus terminal to embark on a mission of compassion: gifting bus fare to commuters throughout the morning.

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to every individual who contributed, in whatever form or fashion, to support this noble cause. Your generosity and commitment have made a profound impact on the lives of those we sought to assist. Thank you for embodying the spirit of service and making our community a brighter place.

While our turnout may not have reached the numbers we had hoped for, the evening was nothing short of delightful. Attendees gathered for a memorable night of camaraderie and trivia, creating cherished moments that will be remembered.

Congratulations to the victorious team who emerged as the winners of the evening. 

Thank you to all who joined us for this enjoyable evening, and for those who couldn't make it, we hope to see you at our future gatherings as we continue to build bonds and make lasting memories within our club.

We are delighted to report yet another successful installment of our "Feeding the Needy" programme. This heartwarming initiative continues to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need within our community.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the dedicated individuals who came out and generously contributed their time and effort this month. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors and fostering a stronger, more compassionate community. 

Our members had an absolutely fantastic time during our recent Mix and Mingle event at of Savvy on the Bay.

Laughter, conversation, and camaraderie filled the air as we came together for a memorable evening of connection and friendship. It's heartwarming to witness our community of members strengthening their bonds while enjoying each other's company.

We look forward to more such delightful gatherings in the future as we continue to foster a sense of togetherness and shared experiences within our club. Thank you to all who were able to attend.
