About Rotary
WHAT IS ROTARY?
Rotary International is the largest service club in the world. It aims to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. It operates under the theme of SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
THE ROTARY CLUB OF POINT FORTIN
The Rotary Club of Point Fortin is the only one of its kind in Point Fortin, being chartered in 1986. 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.
