PEACE - Rotary - Humanity in Motion

...Week of December 10, 2007


December is Family month on the Rotary calendar.

Rotary International is a prestigious global organization that promotes fun, friendship, and family. With the Christmas season approaching, PEACE may be a very appropriate theme.


The District 7020 Governor, Dick McCombe from Nassau, was in Anguilla last week for a visit.

His purpose was to inspire the club to bigger and better things.

To show that Rotary is all about having fun while serving the community, while inspecting the playground equipment at Road Elementary School, he actually tried it out, as you can see in the photograph.

Others in the photo with the District Governor are Rotarians Ralph Smith, Seymour Hodge (Current President of the Anguilla Club), and the Assistant District Governor from St. Maarten, Louis Wever.

PEACE. Udo. Heiwa. Paz. Frieden. Salam. Pace. He ping. Fred. Shalom. Paix. Shanti. Peace.

Some ideas resonate in any language. That’s why Rotary has developed educational programs and provides scholarships around the world to promote peace and conflict resolution.

Together we can create a more peaceful world.

For more information about Rotary, and how you can become part of this prestigious organization. check the website http://www.rotaryanguilla.org or speak to any local Rotarian. The Rotary Club of Anguilla meets every Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. upstairs at the English Rose.
