Health Fair Cassava Piece Community |
Members of our Club serve on
committees, recommend new members, co-ordinate and promote
service projects, and enthusiastically lend a hand for all club
activities and events. Our club leaders must take their role
seriously, learning exactly how the Club works and providing
sound direction in all administrative matters. The power of
active participation is so potent that it only takes a little
bit to transform our lives and the lives of those we serve.
Strong Commitment to high ethical
standards
Another principle that has attracted
many people to Rotary and set it apart from other organizations
is our strong commitment to high ethical standards. It is
critical that we serve as role models in this regard. Our high
standards and the level to which we follow them determine our
credibility. And our credibility has a direct effect on our
ability to meet our service goals. Therefore, we as Rotarians
must renew our commitment to ethical behaviour and to practice
it visibly in our professional and private lives and through our
Club’s vocational service efforts.
Meaningful Club Goals
In reviewing the fundamental
principles of service and ethical practices that have served
Rotary so well for almost a century, we must also look to the
future and the needs of our community. Therefore, the Club’s
Board in approving the programmes has adopted a “bottom-up
approach” serving the needs of the community. The programmes for
this administrative year will effect service to the community in
the following areas:
- Disabled Persons Art Therapy
Programme
- Musgrave Home for Girls
- St. John’s Council/St. John’s
Ambulance
- Harrison Home for the Aged
- Haiti Project (ongoing)
Our major project will be the
refurbishing of a building and the supply of woodwork equipment to
the Jamaica Christian Boys’ Home and the training of the boys in the
sum of approximately 1.5 million dollars.
We will continue our Health Fair
Programme for school children, peace and resolution workshops,
hosting of a major Careers Day Expo in 2003, Four Way Test signs in
schools and the formation of a new Interact Club at St. Georges
College.
