"Fellow Rotaractors and Rotarians
This is indeed an immense pleasure to be here with you this evening to welcome new members to the Rotary family. Rotary and Rotaract are service organisations which encourage individual contributions to a common need to persons and causes that help to develop our communities one person and one project at a time. Every spoke in the Rotary wheel is vital. You as proposed members will become important cogs in that wheel.
As members of the Rotaract Club of Gros Islet, let your membership count. Every meeting, every workshop, every project is an opportunity to make life better for someone else, including your team members. Let that be the focus of your relationship with your fellow members. Serve humanity and have fun doing it.
I wish you all a very productive, impactful membership in your Rotaract Club. I wish to assure you of the commitment of your sponsoring Rotary Club, as is evident by the attendance here this evening.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Gros Islet, I want to welcome you all into the Rotary family!"
