Firstly, let me sincerely congratulate Immediate Past President John de Gannes on a highly successful and impactful Rotary year. He exemplified what it means to be a Rotary Club President, and I will strive to continue and strengthen the successes achieved in the 2024-2025 Rotary year.
"The Magic of Rotary" is the 2024-2025 Rotary theme established by Stephanie A. Urchick, the new Rotary International President. It is a fantastic theme that embodies what Rotary is all about and a theme the Rotary Club of Port of Spain will fully embrace this Rotary Year.
Our immediate focus will be our Club – the Rotary Club of Port of Spain. This will be achieved by strengthening our existing relationships through fellowship activities, alternative meeting experiences, and projects and initiatives to enhance our beloved country of Trinidad & Tobago. Furthermore, we will "Connect" by attracting and engaging with others through increasing our membership. We will invite others and encourage them to join the amazing and rewarding network of 35,000+ Rotary Clubs and 1.2 million Rotarians making the world a better place.
The next "World" to which we will "Connect" will be our Community. As Rotarians, we believe in a shared responsibility and commitment to take action on Trinidad & Tobago's most persistent issues. One of the main reasons I decided to join Rotary, besides fellowship, is its primary tenet of Service Above Self. We will strengthen our commitment to the differently-abled, youth, senior citizens, and good governance in our community. By embracing one of Rotary International's global objectives of Promoting Peace, our club will focus on assisting at-risk and marginalized youth who are otherwise being enticed and sometimes recruited into nefarious activities.
We will also enhance our connection with the other Rotary Clubs of District 7030, especially within Trinidad & Tobago, through joint meetings, social gatherings, and collaboration on projects for the greater good of Trinidad & Tobago. In doing so, we will continue to best serve by promoting integrity, goodwill, and having a positive impact on our community.
