District 7610 Thinks Caribbean 

Rotary Zones 33-34 Club Twinning Program

THE FUTURE OF ROTARY IS IN OUR HANDS!

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CARIBBEAN PARTNERSHIPIP

A Brief History of the Caribbean Club Twinning Program

During the Rotary Centennial year a Twin Club Program was established. Although the centennial program was completed the idea is a basis for a special Zones 33 and 34 emphasis on partnering Rotary Clubs in the Caribbean rim nations, Districts 7000, 7020, and 7030, with Rotary Clubs on the mainland.

Twin Clubs are two clubs that establish strong ties and have agreed to team up to complete special projects such as Community Service Grants, Friendship Exchanges, and Youth Exchanges. Twin Clubs are encouraged to establish an agreement with RI.

District 7610 Goals for the RI year 2009-2010:

  • SERVICE ABOVE SELF:  Emphasize Rotary service with projects.
  • KEEP SCORE:  Grow 7610 Partnerships from 6 to 52 in FY 2010.
  • UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE OF POVERTY:  Establish Fellowship.
  • BUILD LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS:  Establish common Club bonds.
  • PROVIDE ASSISTANCE:   To one another as needed between two clubs.
  • SPREAD THE WORD:  To other Rotarians and to the communities.
  • IMPROVE RI GRANT PROCESS:  Identify 5 Champions of the Cause.
  • Our Mission: Service

Caribbean Partnerships! It's Rotary, Mon!
 

Conjure up a dream of warm blue water lapping upon a white sand beach. Keep that image in your mind and imagine that you are there at a Rotary meeting with your Club's Caribbean Twin.

Governor Horace McCormack wants every Rotary Club to find a Caribbean Partner. District 7610 encourages all clubs to support the effort to build relationships with the clubs in the Caribbean. The “Caribbean Partner” program is designed for this purpose and it is hoped that each of our 52 Clubs will make an effort to support this initiative. To get started here are all the forms you will need. Complete the forms and return them to Bill Jarrett, Caribbean Partner Chair for District 7610. Caribbean Partnerships--That's Rotary, mon!
