Rotarians urged to lend support to CARIFTA

LYNDEN Maycock, chairman of the Local Organising Committee for the 50th Golden Jubilee CARIFTA Games, said they would like nothing better than members of the Rotary Club of South East Nassau to lend their support and volunteer for the region’s greatest junior track and field competition over the Easter holiday weekend.

Maycock, assisted by senior director of technology Michelangelo Cartwright, made the pitch during the Rotary meeting on Wednesday at the Nassau Yacht Club.

A number of other members of the LOC were also present, including Pauline Davis, the Dame of the Games and Fern Hanna, the senior director of marketing and partnership.

Maycock was introduced to the meeting by Dr Bridgette Rolle, a member of the Bahamas Association of Certified Officials (BACO), who at the same time received her fifth Paul Harris pin in a ceremony that was presided over by past president Calnan Weech and president Johann Bain.

The Paul Harris pin is presented to Rotarians after 10 years of service or if you do exceptional voluntary work in the community, which depicts Rotary’s motto: “Service Above Self.” One of her pins came when she took a group of young people on a fact-finding mission trip to the United States.

Three of Rolle’s pins earned came as a result of being president of the Rotary Club of South East Nassau twice since she joined in 2014. The other came from her involvement in sports, in particular, as a member of BACO.
