Rotarians, family, friends break bread

In keeping with tradition, the members of the Rotary Club of St Andrew North recently took time out to break bread after attending their annual thanksgiving service at St Stephen's United in Cross Roads.

The fellowship, which took the form of a brunch and held in Barbican, St Andrew, saw a turnout of around 80 friends, family and club members of the Rotary Club.

"At the start of every Rotary year, we take time out to give God thanks. And, after finishing worship at our church service, it is customary we have a brunch so we can fellowship with each," said Kameika Fullerton-DeLisser, president of the Rotary Club of St Andrew North.

Fullerton-DeLisser, the first female president of the 25-year-old service club, intends for her tenure to outfit the St Stephen's United Early Childhood Centre with computers.

"Our brunch is an opportunity for the Rotarians, their families and friends to fellowship with each other," she said.

According to the organisation's website, Rotary International is the world's first service club organisation, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. The clubs' members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto: Service Above Self.
