ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CARIBBEAN PARTNERSHIPS
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 (see www.caribbeanpartnership.org).
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.
