Rotary Club of Montego Bay 2010 - 2011 Installation

‘Twas a delightful brunch held at the beautiful Secrets hotel in Montego Bay where the Rotary Club of Montego Bay held its installation ceremony for their new president and committee members. With over one hundred Rotarians, friends and dignitaries in attendance, outgoing president Michelle Daswani dutifully handed the gavel and presidential medallion to Mexine Bisasor who in turn adorned her new administration with Rotary pins.


The ceremonious affair was punctuated with exciting numbers from Montego Bay’s newest dance troupe “Hah-r-mony” who enthralled the audience with ballroom, contemporary and African style numbers. Then the guest speaker Jesus Silva (ambassador of Spain) intrigued attendees with economics, tales of life in Jamaica and of course world cup football.


By early afternoon, awards had been bestowed a-plenty including a Paul Harris award to Veena Chandiram, wife of Past President Denny for her support and on-going work with Rotary ; The Service above Self award to Bhagwan Chugani for his dedication to international projects and Rotarian of the Year to T. Roxanne Smith for her tireless duties as secretary for the club.


A super event that heralded the beginning of a ‘bigger, better bolder year of service above self’ – the mantra of the incoming president Mexine Bisasor.
