Our Club Welcomes You....
Keeping our environment clean is everyone’s responsibility.  On Saturday, July 08th, 2023 the Rotary Club of Eleuthera (RCE) joined forces with Clean Beaches of Eleuthera Committee to clean up one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Eleuthera.  The beach at French Leave, Governor’s Harbour.
 
 
Rotary celebrated Membership and New Club Development Month with the launch of its 9th Annual Buddy Program.  The objectives of the Buddy Program were to increase membership engagement; provide fun and fellowship; achieve Rotary’s goals; provide opportunities for Prospective Rotarians; show appreciation to members; strengthen the Club; promote Rotary’s Brand/Areas of Focus, Team building, Leadership, Community Building and Rotarians’ interest in the Environment.
“One of Rotary’s most colorful traditions is members’ exchanging club banners. Clubs display their own decorative banners at meetings and district events, and Rotarians who travel to other countries often take these banners to exchange with the clubs they visit as a sign of international friendship.”
 The Rotary Club of Eleuthera closed out Maternal and Child Health Month with a donation of baby items including disposable diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, rattlers, shampoo and more. The items will be presented to a few expecting mothers on the island of Eleuthera in need of assistance.
