Rotary Club of Saint Vincent & th Grenadines

I had the privilage of attending the first business meeting of the RC SVG on Thursday January 28th.  Firstly it was great to catch up with Rotarians whom I knew from Saint Lucia days: first in your picture is the indomitable Robert (Bob) Haydock who looks just as young as when he left Saint Lucia and whos jokes remain as risque as then; next, at the other end of the table in your picture is Joseph (Joe) Sheridan who, though not a Rotarin while in Saint Lucia, had similarly poor jokes! 

This was a business meeting and one of the significant projects being planned was the Rotary Village Doctor project whereby the entire club inclusive of doctors, join forces with other medical practitioners and set up an all day clinic in a remote location.  The project is entirely funded by the club with sponsorrship from the business community.  This month the clinic will be on the island of Mayreau.  The members will hire a catamaran and set off early Sunday morning.  The clinic will serve approximately 400 patients.  This is an excellent hands on project and our Rotarian friends in SVG should take a bow at initiatiating this wonderful project.
