WHAT IS ROTARY?

Today we currently have sixteen (17) members and in 2003, we successfully formed the Rotaract Club of Point Fortin. Rotaract is Rotary’s mentoring program for future leaders, ages 18-30. In March 2016, we formed our very first Interact Club at the Holy Name Convent Secondary School in Point Fortin. Our members consist of busy men and women who are contributing to the Point Fortin community everyday through their businesses or professional lives, in addition to Rotary.
