DISTRICT ROTARACT REPRESENTAT Greetings District 7030!

The calendar year is almost over which means that we are almost half way through our Rotaract year. These past six months seem to havepassed by very quickly and I can only imagine how quickly the secondhalf will pass as well.

A few weeks ago the Districts leaders met for District LeadershipTraining. I am sure that everyone who was unable to attend can see fromthe photographs posted on Facebook and Instagram that all attendeeshad a wonderful time. Not only was the weekend full of training inseveral areas of leadership, conflict resolution and marketing, but wealso had presentations on the Rotary District Strategic Plan, the draftStrategic Plan for our Rotaract District, our new Manual of Procedures

and the District Rotaract Representative Elects plans and objectives forthe 2015-2016 Rotaract year.

At DLT we also discussed the matter of the position of District Rotaract Representative Nominee. Afterseveral consultations with past District leaders on the interpretation of simple majority which is

required for identifying the successful candidate, it was revealed that this is obtained when there aremore votes in favour than against. In the case of votes cast at District Assembly 2014, ADRR Everistus

Jn Marie did receive the majority of votes in favour than against and has been declared the DistrictRotaract Representative Nominee.

Even with arrangements being put in place for DLT, my DRR visits continuedduring the month of November. I made a second trip to Guyana where I met with

the Rotaract Clubs of Georgetown, Georgetown Central and University ofGuyana. During the few days spent there I also celebrated by birthday and I amthankful to all the clubs for the wonderful celebration held for me and that tastybirthday cake! While they were putting the finishing touches on DLT, I was alsoable to meet with the Rotaract Club of Sangre Grande Central. Again I wish tothank the Rotaract Club of Sangre Grande Central for executing a great event andencourage you to keep that strong bond that your club has.

It is anticipated that December will be packed with Christmas dinners, socials and giving back to thosein need. It will therefore not be a hectic one for me as I will only be visiting the Rotaract Clubs inBarbados Barbados West, South Barbados and UWI Cave Hill as well as the District Conferenceplanning committee. I look forward to hearing all that is planned for the hundreds of Rotaractors who

will be making their way to the beautiful tourist destination as we seek to Build, Integrate and Motivatethrough service .

Although we are several weeks away, I would like to wish all Rotaractors and their loved ones a happyand safe Christmas. May your season be filled with joy and togetherness as you spend time with familyand friends. As you usher in the New Year, may it also begin positive and productive.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Yours in Rotaract,

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL FO

Family Month

What does Family Month mean to you?

By involving our family members, we make all of our endeavours more successful and enjoyable. Wealso address the problem, often cited by younger members that Rotary competes with family time.Once people realize that they do not have to decide between Rotary and family, they will be more likely

to accept our invitations to join. And just as important, once they do join, they are much more likely tobecome and remain educated, productive Rotarians.

Jonathan Majiyagbe,RI President 2003-2004

(The first year Family month was recognized on the Rotary calendar )

But the family of Rotary can be more than a single family unit. It can represent many aspects of theorganization. The RI Board is part of the family of Rotary International. So is each district as well as eachclub. Each Group Study Exchange team is part of the family of Rotary. So are our Rotaractors andInteractors and our Youth Exchange students studying abroad. Our RI training leaders and all of ourcommittees and resource groups form various parts of the family of Rotary. Finally, The RotaryFoundation is a large and important part of our family of Rotary.

Carl- Wilhelm Stenhammar - RI President 2005-2006

My fondest moment thus far in Rotaract was

Water Sanitation and Conservation Awareness Project between the Rotaract Clubs of Arima and Blue Cayman Islands

The Rotaract Club of Arima, together with its twin club Rotaract Blue Cayman Islands, planned a publicawareness project with emphasis placed on water sanitation and conservation. This entailed each clubhaving to field a presentation or interactive dialogue/discussion with a given grouping of primary orsecondary school students and facilitated by the relevant public utility or state agency responsible forthe water and wastewater treatment sector of its country.

On Friday 31 st October 2014, as part of the Youth Empowerment Symposiums (Y .E.S.) program, theRotaract Club of Arima was able to hold an interactive presentation and discussion session inconjunction with the Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobagos (WASA). This session

was facilitated by Ms. Keisha Leach of WASAs Public Education Centre.

WASA was established by an Act of Parliament in 1965 to manage the water and wastewater sector ofTrinidad and Tobago. The focus of this session was placed on raising awareness of the need for water

conservation and the importance of practices to ensure water sanitation among at least one hundredand twenty (120) students from Forms 3-6 of Toco Secondary School and Matelot Community Collegein attendance. This in turn would aid the wider community as these students would be able to aid in thepreservation of this vital resource, especially during drought conditions.

had our shoot, we had some leisure time to do fun things and we also made a picture for the End upPolio project.

While having fun PRO Samuel came with the idea to teach our Rotaractors of District7030 and aroundthe world some Dutch words. With that we want you to get a little bit acquainted with our language. Wemade a video Learn Dutch with Genesis, and posted it on our Facebook Page. Every month we willteach some other Dutch words. Stay tuned because there are more lessons to come.

O.S.Clevia Bicycle Racks Project

Two months ago we got a request from O.S. Clevia, an elementary school, that they needed bicycleracks for the kids. Because of our 24 th anniversary of Genesis we thought it would be a great gesture togive back to community by donating the racks. We wanted to create a healthy lifestyle from a veryyoung age so we support riding to school.

On Thursday November 14 th we drew sketches on the wall of the bike shed and that Friday we teamedup with the kids that go to O.S. Clevia and painted the drawings on the wall. On Sunday we gave the

signal for official use of the new and improved bike shed. We also organized a bike tour with the kids.We had a total of 53 bikers and kids who didnt have a bike stayed at school to do some sports act ivities.The children were spoiled by us with some fruits, yoghurts, water. For our birthday each kid got acupcake that was made by ourselves. We had a police escort, therefore the tour was safe andsuccessful. The kids had a really fun day.

DRR Vanessa visits the Rotaract Club of Grenada

The Rotaract Club of Grenada was delighted to have hosted District Rotaract Representative, VanessaBoyce, during the period October 4th-5th, 2014.

To kick the weekend off, we treated DRR Vanessa to an authentic Grenadian breakfast at Deynas Delight; a local favourite, before hurrying to our community service project in the south of the island.Determined to not squander the time, we held a productive and very interactive board meeting beforeheading off to Sails Restaurant for a tasty lunch. Later that night we had dinner at the Le ChateauRestaurant and Bar before resting for our exciting day ahead. Early Sunday morning, we set out on ahiking excursion to the Aucoin Waterfall, with our awesome tour guide Ras473. The hike was intense,but the reward of a refreshing rush of water down our backs was well worth it.

Following the hike, we headed down to Mango Bay, vegetarian restaurant, where we savoured their

very flavourful ital food. The skepticism of many of us was brought to a halt once we tasted the creamycallaloo soup, which then led to an amazing main course and was followed by delightful desserts.

We later said our farewells to DRR Vanessa and proceeded to our final event; a fundraising project ofmanning the bar at Rotarian Waggy Ts Mega Bingo.

The weekend was indeed a very busy one; however, all members participating voiced theirgratification having spent a fun weekend of fellowship with our Rotaract family and visiting DRR

Vanessa.

The icing on the cake and the second part of our Sickle Cell Awareness Project was the Glitter andGlamour red carpet fashion show. This finance project held on 14 th September was also beneficial tothe Sickle Cell Foundation in Suriname.

Six well known designers showcased their authentic pieces of clothing, shoes and jewellery. Theperson who modelled the designs consisted of top models from Suriname and fellow Rotaractors. Theshow was held by the pool of the Courtyard Marriott. The featured entertainment included fantasticsingers and upcoming artistes who gave the evening a perfectly elegant touch. A special touch wasprovided when one of the groups wrote and dedicated a song to sickle cell patients in Suriname. Themost touching moment of the show came at the very end. A sickle patient told her touching and heart

wrenching story. She spoke a bout how often she was discriminated against because she wasnt alwayshealthy enough to participate in many activities. She kept believing in herself, stayed strong andachieved the goals she set and got where she wanted to be. This story brought tears to the eyes of manypeople at the show.

This evening was one never to be forgotten and will live on in our hearts and memories.

Hungry to Help

The Rotaract of Piarco (U.W.I.) held its first feeding project on Sunday 28 th September 2014. The initialgoal was to feed 100 persons along the East West Corridor with the starting point being the Universityof the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus.

Several persons donated money and grocery items; special mention is made to National Scanners whodonated canned food. Ten persons were assigned to cook, including members and prospective

members and seven drivers were designated for the day, including the President of The Rotaract Clubof Arima, Daniel Skinner- Ballatyne. Over twenty persons came out to help with packaging anddistribution. We also received assistance from the President of the Rotaract Club of UWI, Mona.

We would like to thank all the cooks, drivers and distributors for their invaluable assistance. Our initialgoal of feeding 100 persons was exceeded as a total of 150 persons were fed. This was due to theoverwhelming support of our volunteers and donations received. It was an enjoyable experience forall involved and those who received lunches expressed countless and sincere gratitude.

Club Ambassadors on the move

Similar to an Ambassador of a country, the Club Ambassador is a member or prospective member whohas been empowered to represent the Rotaract Club of Piarco (UWI) and to promote our brand.

The primary thrust behind this idea is to encourage Rotaractors to feel a part of and take ownership oftheir club. This venture has also stimulated members and prospective members to better understandand know our organization, as they would go out in groups of 2-4 persons. So with this understanding,

we launched out, going where no Rotaractor from RCOP (UWI) has gone before, exploring new lands,encountering new people and making short presentations about what our club has been doing. Thusfar we have been able to visit the Rotaract Clubs of St. Augustine West, Port of Spain West and St.

Augustine. We are grateful for the warm welcomes, gifts exchanged, information learnt and fellowshiphad with each of our host. To the members who have not been able to make any of the visits with us sofar, dont be left out! The EMPIRE wants you! Moving forward, we hope to make visits to other Rotaractclubs, Rotary Clubs and other organizations in Trinidad and Tobago and across the region, so staytuned we may be comin g to a meeting near you.

DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TRAINCharting a New Course for the Rotaract Leaders of Tomorrow

DLT 2014 Recap

The first ever Rotaract District 7030 Leadership training was hosted by the Rotaract Club of SangreGrande Central, Trinidad from 21 st 24 th November, 2014. As a first timer to District events and my firstexperience out of the country, I must say that I have become a better-rounded person after DLT 2014.The lessons that I have learnt will help to take my club members and myself a far way in terms ofmanaging ourselves and our club. District Leadership Training 2014 was one event that I can say I havegained a lot of experience and knowledge. Also, the fellowship throughout the weekend has allowedme to gain new friends, a new family and new bonds. On behalf of the Rotaract Club of New Amsterdam,I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our host, the Rotaract Club of Sangre Grande Centralfor having us in their community and letting us experience Sangre Grande at a unique way.

Having never attended any training events and conferences before, my anticipation grew with theprospect of attending the District Leadership Training (DLT) when the idea was announce by our clubtrainer. I helped in the marketing of the event for my club and encouraged members to participate in

order for us to be well represented at DLT. Seven of our members, including myself, attended the DLT2014. Apart from meeting interesting Rotaractors from District 7030, the food, social gatherings andoutreach have forged unforgettable experience and are by far some of my favourite Rotaract memories.The training topics covered at DLT have helped expand my Rotaract knowledge, a sentiment Im suremany of us could agree with. Congratulations to the DLT 2014 Committee for putting together animpressive event. I would change this experience for the world.

I wish to congratulate the Rotaract Club of Sangre Grande Central on a job well done. As an attendeeat the first District 7030 Leadership Training, I was flooded with euphoria. I can proudly say that myselfand my fellow club members have been energized returning from DLT. I also believe that all memberspresent from District 7030 and the representatives from District 7020 have gone back to their respectiveclubs recharged and eager to continue serving their members. I wish to encourage District TeamMembers, Board Members, Rotaractors and Prospective Members to attend this event, as it waseffective, motivational and engaging. The presenters were very knowledgeable and they made thesessions lively by engaging participants, allowing them to speak freely and candidly. They also usedhumor during their presentation which kept participants enthusiastic. In my opinion, I think thesessions has helped to build the self-worth and self-esteem in members.
