Bonaire’s Rotary Club Launches New Expanded Web Site

Bonaire’s Rotary Club officially launched their new, expanded web site yesterday, July 18th, during their weekly meeting.  The site offers insight into many of the organization’s functions, events, and community service.  The Rotary Club has been serving Bonaire’s community for over 25 years now.

On the site, viewers can find out more about Rotary International, the local Bonaire chapter, its members, visiting Rotarians, and especially about its current projects.

Community projects are varied, but they all have one thing in common:  All projects which the Rotary tackles serve to help Bonaire’s people or visitors.  A recent project including funding to reconstruct a Bride’s whale skeleton, which is now on exhibit at the entrance of Washington-Slagbaai National Park.  An ongoing effort is the “Breakfast-in-Schools” project, now starting its fourth year.  This program provides a healthy breakfast to over 150 schoolchildren, who might not otherwise enjoy a breakfast.  Having the nutritious start to their days helps them to better focus in school and thus achieve higher grades.

During their recent 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Club held many different events all to raise funding for their community service projects.  Details are available on the web site.  Also available are details of their weekly meetings.  All Rotarians from around the world are welcome when they visit Bonaire.
