ROTARY CENTENNIAL
February 23rd 2005
100 Years of Service to the Community and the World


The Calabash Chorale led by PADG Malcolm Charles, the local chapter of the International Fellowship of Musician Rotarians (IFRM), was launched  at the Charter Night of the Rotary Club of Saint Lucia in October 2004, to start off our club's Centennial Celebrations and commemorate the RI Centennial.
At this this launching the song "Service Above Self - 100 Years" was performed and recorded for this first time. This song has since been submitted to Rotary International for official inclusion in the RI Centennial Celebrations.
Musical accompaniment to the chorale includes Keyboards, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar and Steel Pan all played by Rotarians.

Rtn. Inger Walker from the Rotary Club of Gros Islet was a major contributor to the success of this project

Rotarians from Tallahassee, Florida contributed materials and came to Saint Lucia to assemble the bookcases

The 100 Bookcases for Schools Project was a joint project between the Rotary Club of Gros Islet, the Rotary Club of Tallahassee, Florida and the Rotary Club of Saint Lucia where 100 bookcases and shelves were distributed to schools around Saint Lucia.

July is observed as Literacy Month in Rotary International (RI) and in keeping with this observance the Rotary Club of Saint Lucia in July 2004 presented over 6,500 books to the Ministry of Education. These books were secured through the efforts of Mr. Redge Seaman in North Carolina and Mr. George Noon. The Rotary Club of Saint Lucia assisted with the logistics and costs of getting the books to Saint Lucia and clearing them through customs. The books are suitable for individuals from the age of 5 years old to University Level and span a broad range of topics.

The 2004-2005 Board of the Rotary Club of Saint Lucia was inducted at a Dinner Meeting on Friday 2nd July 2004.
