Christmas Message from your Editor

My friends in Rotary, this is once again the time of year where we go out and buy good food and quality drink to entertain ourselves and our friends, and so it should be for we are celebrating.  Rotary Club of Gros Islet has done its bit over the week end by delivering thirty five hampers to those who would otherwise have very little, plus we left quantities of left over supplies with Paul Harris Fellow Simone Mondesir to distribute as the greatest needs are presented.

 

It is our turn now friends, as we think about that turkey, ham or stew beef, to stretch out our hand to those who will have none of the above this Christmas.  I encourage all of us to share our celebration with someone who could not even dream of such a celebration.  I have told this little story before but to me it has special meaning and exemplifies the humility associated with Rotarians.  My dad always said to me when we saw a poor or indigent soul, "son, there but for the grace of God go I".  He died when I was fourteen but those words resonated with me, not then but as I became more aware in later life.

 

I wish you all a blessed and peaceful Christmas.  Have fun my friends - carpe diem.
