The month of October is themed Economic & Community Development month and last night at the Training Division Conference Room over forty people intently listened to four dynamic and engaging speakers on personal finance. Meade Malone of MWM, Ryan Geluk of BDO, Honourable Melvin Turnbull and Dalan Vanterpool from VP Bank each spoke to the audience for roughly 20 minutes each. A question and answer session was given at the end of each speaker.
Attendees were encouraged to among many things, develop a passion, vision, budgets, realistic goals, understanding your “why” and learned about the acronym R.E.P.O.H. , which means Repetition, Easy, Pleasure, Often and Habit. Once you repeat something ( saving money for example ) it eventually gets easy, once it becomes easy, you start to enjoy it so then you start to get pleasure from it, then you see yourself doing it often and eventually it becomes a habit.
Light refreshments and snacks were provided and based on the positive comments, our club will be doing this again next year and possibly adding components like sound investment advice and personal and home loans.
On behalf of the Rotary Club Sunrise of Road Town we would like to thank the guest speakers and those who attended. Special thanks to Community Service Director Storm Wright for organizing and Club Administration Director Travicca Smith for moderating.
The Rotary Family of the BVI is launching a major fundraising event
to help Hurricane Victims in Haiti.
The passage of monster hurricane Matthew has claimed over 900 lives in Haiti and left about 350,000 people homeless. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the World and help is urgently needed.
The first event to raise funds will take place on Wednesday, 12th October. Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors will be seen all over town as part of the “Rotary Bucket Brigade”. On Virgin Gorda the Rotaractors and Interactors will be out with buckets to collect donations on our sister Island from 3pm - 8pm.
They do appeal to the good-hearted people of the BVI to stop at the buckets and drop a contribution. Every Dollar will help.
Between 7:00pm and 9:00pm please tune in to JTV Channel 55, transmitting from the fundraising headquarters at Maria’s by the Sea, simultaneously broadcasted on ZBVI 780AM. Please call in your pledges at any of the following telephone numbers: 494 7354, 494 9565, 494 8759 & 494 6368. Cash, cheques, Visa & Master Card will be gratefully accepted
The Rotary Family of the BVI would be most appreciative of the generosity of the BVI Community.
Its estimated that over $40,000.00 was raised between the telethon and bucket brigade collection. Excellent effort and thank you to all involved and the BVI Community for your generous donations.
"My Friends, I know we have all been watching, and in some cases, been directly affected as Hurricane Matthew has made a devastating impact across Rotary District 7020. We are grateful that most of us were spared, however as we know South Western Haiti and the Bahamas took direct hits.
The Rotary District 7020 Hurricane Matthew Disaster Committee has met, assessed the needs currently coming out of Haiti, and have decided on 2 components. One – An Immediate Response for Direct Relief needs and Two - a more medium to long term approach.
See this video for details what we are doing and how you can help.
