THE ROTARY CLUB OF PRINCES TOWN
President's Dinner 11/12/2020.
Christmas is a time for family, socializing (while social distancing), sharing food and festivities. 2020 was a year of separation from each other and the world, that’s why this President’s Dinner was such a cherished event. For one night, we donned our finest, faces adorned with masks not makeup (Ladies of course) and came out with our families for a dual intentioned evening of fellowship and inductions.
The evening began beautifully with the induction of the Rotary Club of Princes Town’s newest members, overseen by Membership Director Andrea Bhagwandeen. We welcomed to the fold Villon Stanley, (former Rotarian) Wendy-Ann Joseph and Narisha Mohammed.
Following the inductions a lovely dinner was shared amongst all attendees, the air filled with lively chatter and Christmas music. It was then time for Gift giving! Firstly door prizes, then the grand gift exchange between the Rotarians (determined by a highly numerically calculated system) and finally everyone received a gift from the President and First Lady themselves Rishi and Nadira Ramlogan. All this was done with the strictest observance of the Covid-19 protocols and regulations.
It was indeed a delightful evening, well spent.
Christmas Treat and Hamper Drive 13.12.2020 Gangaram Trace Recreational Ground.
Braving the early morning heavy showers, Rotarians and their partners- in- service made their way to Gangaram Trace in Brother’s Road. This location was specifically chosen in tribute of our fallen angel, former Rotarian Rhea Nobbee. This was her home, the place where she grew up and it is only fitting that we continue the good works that she had already started in this community. The children of the community were met by Mrs. Clause, wonderfully portrayed by Rotarian Andrea to each receive their toy and treat bag amidst a festive atmosphere of villagers, Rotarians and partners-in-service. Of course everyone was briefed and fully obedient to the safety protocols of Covid-19. Unfortunately due to the heavy downpour not all the families for whom treat bags, toys and hampers were catered were able to attend. This however did not prevent them from receiving what was intended for them. The Rotarians reloaded the vehicles and started the journey, finding the families who were unable to make it to the Ground at Gangaram trace and delivering the hampers and gifts to their homes for which they were immensely grateful. What a fulfilling experience it is to meet the need of an individual or family in a time such as CoVid and to bring a semblance of joy and cheer where otherwise there would only be worry and despair. Special thanks to Rotarian Darren for donating the sweets, IPP Jim - apples, Rotarian Rudy – Juice, PIS Nadira- bags, Clydette and Roma. #SouthernFoodBasket #HolidayFoods, #SunshineSnacks, #Priceclubsupermarket

Over the weekend, the Rotary Club of Princes Town in collaboration with PriceSmart conducted a Hamper Drive in south Trinidad. A total of seventy food hampers were distributed to the less fortunate families. Of these, thirty-two very deserving students and their families were carefully selected by the Interact patron teachers of the Princes Town West Secondary School, Cowen Hamilton Secondary School and St Stephen’s College. The hampers were generously donated by the PriceSmart Club in an effort to aid those families which have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Due to the new Public Health Ordinance Regulations which came into effect on August 17th 2020, the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Princes Town, has taken the decision to postpone our annual Chokha Fest scheduled for August 29th 2020, until government regulations are lifted.
