Farewell to Richard & Yvonne Spalding

Richard and Yvonne Spalding have spent several months each year in beautiful Saint Lucia since Richard retired from the British navy a couple of years ago.  Richard joined the Rotary Club of Winchester recently but he visits us at Rotary Club of Gros Islet regularly when they are in Saint Lucia.

On their last trip, which ended on December 17th, Richard was working with International Service Chair, Lisle Chase to identify a project that might be of interest to his home club as an International Service project.  A number of possibilities hve been identified and the board of RCGI has agreed to present a proposal to the RC Winchester through Rtn. Richard in the coming weeks.

Richard and Yvonne have been active participants in RCGI's projects including the Golf Tournament and the Chistmas party for the children at the Marchand Combined School.

We wish them all the very best for the Christmas season and look forward to their return in the Spring of 2016.
