SPECIAL PROGRAMME DISTRICT COMPETION
4-WAY TEST SONG & PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION VIDEO
AND THE RESULTS ARE IN...
THE SPECIAL PROJECTS PROGRAMME was designed to bring awareness to community-related
issues captured by two (2) of Rotary International’s focus areas.
PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION/PREVENTION - Clubs were asked to create an
original video to demonstrate an example of any type of conflict and promote a resolution of
the conflict (solution) and/or show why the conflict is bad for the community (awareness).
BASIC EDUCATION AND LITERACY- This was based on the 4-Way Test. The 4-Way test
promotes integrity, goodwill and service and a competition involving the 4-way test was an
opportunity to get young persons to read and learn principles that can positively impact
their lives. Youth arms were asked to create an original song expressing their interpretation
of what the test means and/or how it can be applied in our lives.
There were 2 levels of competition. The first was a Peoples’ Choice Competition which was
won by popular vote online. The second was vote by a Judges’ Panel which was based on the
criteria set out in the contest rules.
The judges were drawn from all across District 7020. The 9 judges were:
1. PDG Rupert Ross, District Trainer, St. Croix - USVI
2. Assistant Public Image Chair, Zones 33 and 34, PP Sheila Bethel, The Bahamas
3. PAG James Ferris, District Chair, Youth Exchange Programmes, St. Maarten

Thoughts on Success to Significance
We Want to Hear from You!
DG Felix began the 2015- 2016 Rotary year by challenging the District 7020 Rotary family
to move from Success to Significance. He wrote, “ In 2015-2016, my challenge to you will
be to transform our District from ‘Success to Significance’. ...Success represents the accomplishments
and accolades we build up for ourselves. Significance represents the accomplishments
we attain for others. Significance is the truest spirit of service. Significance is
our legacy. It is our gift to the world.”
What does the theme “Success to Significance” mean to you? WE want to HEAR from you.
Send your views to the Editor, District Newsletter at d7020news@gmail.com by February
25 and your views will be published in the March edition. Include your name and the club
you belong to.
To get us started, here are the thoughts of President Ryan Geluk, President of the Rotary
Club of Road Town, British Virgin Islands and of First Lady, PP Carla Card-Stubbs, Rotary
Club of Nassau Sunrise, wife of DG Felix. Enjoy!

Dad looked at me with wise old eyes,
Though dim, they radiant beamed.
His end was near, life had been full,
It was more than he had dreamed.
“Listen, Son”. I stared at him
With anxious eyes, now wide and wet.
“Son, dry your tears, I lived my life
and I have, Son, not one regret.
“ I made many friends and, yes, a few foes,
I conquered fears and weathered storms.
I made out well through many-a -hell
But that’s a man’s course - it is life’s norms.
From
Success to
Significance
-A poem dedicated to
Felix N. Stubbs
“It matters not the money I spent,
Or the assets that I have acquired
Or the accolades, trophies , certificates
All that now, Son, soon will be buried.
“It matters that you stand here beside me
As a testament of my life to the end.
It means that quite apart from a son,
I’ve made in you a man - and a friend!
“It matters not the successes I’ve had.
I did what I could - good or bad.
That dies with me but what will live on
Are those treasures I now leave behind.
“Those treasures aren’t the houses, money and land
And other riches that I’ll leave your way,
Those, the empire and whatever I’ve built,
All that will, one day, surely decay.
“The treasures are the many hearts I’ve touched,
The trails and paths I helped to blaze,
The lives I improved while passing through;
My helping mankind while making my way.

Carla D. Card-Stubbs

A very heart warming
reading by the author.

“Success is great - don’t count it out -
But it’s all about self, this is true;
They were fleeting moments, they made me feel good,
And when I die, my successes will too.
“Significance, though, on the other hand,
Is the good we do for each other.
A lasting legacy here on earth -
It never dies but will live on in others.
“My aim, I confess, as I tried to do my best,
Was to turn my Success into Significance.
My race was well-run and now that I’m done
I’m content to enter death’s dance.
“So, my child, hear this my parting advice,
And listen well, I implore you, my son.
Move from Success to Significance in life,
And when you face death, you would have won.”

A Rotarian’s Reflection on Success to Significance
“Let Us Aim to Leave a Mark”
What Comes First: The Chicken or the Egg?
DG Felix has themed this year as Success to Significance. He has
stated that
“Success are the accolades and accomplishments that
you earn for yourself and significance represents the
benefits that we build up for others.”
In society, whether it be in music, entertainment, business or
anything we do, success can be earned overnight. A one-hit wonder.
A single event. A large contract. Short term gains.
Significance, however, can only be earned over time. Significance
is how you build your accomplishments and successes for
the benefits of others. It is the culmination of the cumulative
achievements which change lives and make people’s
dreams real. Each year of the Club’s existence, though
successful in their own right, may not have been significant.
Put all of these years of achievements together
however and we have one of the most, if not
THE most significant clubs in District 7020.
God calls us not to be successful but to be significant.
When we focus on significance, success is often part of
the package.
It is often said that it takes an entire village to raise a child; the
same can be said about a Rotary Club. It takes the cumulative efforts,
funds and talents of an entire community to build the success
of a club. No club can be successful without the help and
support of our community. This was the premises behind Project
1BVI in the Rotary Club of Road Town. We brought together 85
persons of varying organisations to contribute to the success of
this project; working together side by side in a partnership towards
a common goal. This was a successful project in its own
right; however, if this idea is taken forward to be incorporated
into future projects all of a sudden makes it a significant idea.
Fellow Rotarians, let us all aim at leaving a mark. As we move
forward and look at the future of Rotary, let us focus on what is a
significant and develop a strategy toward significance. Though it
is great to be recognized; in my opinion, it is more important to
be remembered – to be significant. The path of significance has
just begun. The best is yet to come!

Club of the Month
Awesome activities and ideas from small clubs
In this segment of the District’s Newsletter, innovative ideas that were executed by the
small clubs in our district will be shared.
For the month of January, ‘Vocational Service Month’, a number of clubs such as the Rotary
Club of Portmore, Montego Bay Sunrise, St. Martin Sunrise, and St. Thomas Sunrise
used this opportunity to hold Vocational Talks or Classification/vocation presentations for
members to share information about their vocations. Some clubs also invited guest speakers
to give presentations about their professions.
The Rotary Club of St. Croix and the Rotary Club of St. Thomas East recognized persons in
the community who exhibit and are committed to high ethical standards in their vocation,
and use their vocation to serve their community. Nice!
The Rotary Club of Portmore produced the first edition
of their newsletter, ‘RCP Pulse’, which featured January
as Vocational Service Month. An article in the newsletter
encouraged Rotarians to make Vocational Service a lifelong
commitment. Interesting!
The Rotary Club of May Pen organized a Vocational
Technical Training (VTT) on the usage and maintenance
of ultrasound machines. This VTT and ultrasound
equipment allows for quicker detection of injuries and
proper medical care. Nice job!
The Rotary Club of Montego Bay participated in a dramatization
at a High School, where three (3) of their members acted in a skit designed to
contrast appropriate and inappropriate behavior at an interview. The dramatization which
was planned for Grade 11 students was held to help them understand what constitutes
good and bad performance at an interview. Great idea!
The Rotary Club of Montego Bay Sunrise arranged employment opportunities for the Rotaractors
from the Rotaract Club of UWI WJC. The Rotaractors got the opportunity to
shadow and work with Rotarians at their work places, where they received exposure to
that particular vocation and gained experience in that field of work. Excellent!
16 | D7020 News

The final idea for this segment comes
from Rotary Club of Montego Bay
Sunrise whose member participated
in a vocational talk at their sponsored
Interact Club of Herbert Morrison
High, and Rotary Club of St. Martin
Sunrise whose members participated
in a Career Evening at their sponsored
Rotaract Club of St. Maarten
Sunrise. Another Superb idea!
At the meeting with the Interact Club of Herbert Morrison High, the Montego Bay Sunrise
engaged the Interactors in an interactive, informative and educational discussion with a
member of their club.
At the Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise’s
meeting, President Marcellia and the club’s
fundraising director shared information about
their vocation, and how they use their profession
to be a Gift to the World, which was the theme
for the evening. They also used this opportunity
to motivate the Rotaractors to use their vocation
to also be a Gift to the World, and to make a contribution
towards humanity.
These are some examples of the great ideas that were executed by the clubs of this wonderful
district. And yet, I will share even more fabulous ideas in the next article.
Until then, remember, “Everything begins with an idea.” - Earl Nightengale

District
Goals
Keep Track.
Stay on Track!
The time has come
to play an active role
in accomplishing
these goals.
Need assistance?
Contact your
Assistant Governor
and the District
Team for ideas and
support.
Goal # 1 focuses on Membership Development and
Retention
More committed Rotarians would mean stronger clubs,
more hands to do more work, the opportunity to raise
more money, for bigger and better and more sustainable
projects the opportunity to be significant.
Goal #2 Foundation Giving
We want to enhance our giving to the Rotary Foundation
Annual fund
Endowment fund
Polio
Focus areas
Paul Harris fellows
Paul Harris society members
Bequest Society
Major Donors

and the ability to measure progress against goals
and to apply for those end of year awards.
Goal #4 Humanitarian Service
I don’t need to say much here. This is who we are. This
is what defines us. How well we do in serving humanity
will determine whether we are just successful Rotarians, or
successful Rotary clubs or a successful Rotary International
or, if we are making that move to significance.
You will find our
District Leadership
Directory at
www.7020.org
Goal #5 New Generation
Rotaract and Interact and for us Earlyact.
What support are we giving them?
How do we nurture their progress into Rotary?
Goal #6 Public Image
Rotary has spent a lot of money on enhancing its brand
and like any good business, we need to show our stakeholders
a return on that investment. We need to promote
the good we do shamelessly and cause people to want to
come to Rotary.

Walk a Day in My Shoes
Rotaractors are often recognized as the future pillars of society but few consider the very
real contributions that many Rotarctors already making. Even among peers, the importance
of the responsibilities we are often face3d with are overlooked.
During Vocational
Month, our club conducted
a “Walk a Day in My
Shoes” event where two
Rotaractors were chosen
by members to spoke
about their classifications.
The chosen Rotaractors
chosen were Harris
Legair and Lincoln
Sprauve Jr.
Rtr. Harris is the Crew
Commander and an acting
supervisor of the
Tuddy Bay airport that
is located on Virgin Gorda.
His main duty as the
acting Supervisor is to
ensure the airport’s successful
daily operations.
Rtr. Harris is also a Crew
Commander, working
hand in hand with the airport’s
fire fighters. As he
educated members about
his classification, he also
shared how effective his role served the community in regards to safety. As a Crew Commander,
he contributes to saving lives in case of fires and as the Acting Airport Supervisor
he ensures the safety of everyone that enters and departs the airport.
Our second presenter, Rtr. Lincoln is a Park Warden, working for the BVI National Parks
Trust. Rtr. Lincoln is responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of all the marine
parks in Virgin Gorda, thus ensuring contributing to the safety of locals visitors and the environment.
He educated members about the various parks that were located on the island,
the upgrades that are being done at each park and about the National Parks Trust (NPT)’s
mooring system. As a Park Warden, he contributes to the well-being of both persons and
the environment, ensuring that the parks are well maintained and visitors are happy and
satisfied with their visit.
From the testimonies that were told both presenters also shared their most challenging
experience within their classification. The session allowed members to gain greater insight
into the daily operations of the presenters as well as fostered an increased appreciation for
the roles they play within the community. Most don’t think about what it takes to safely land
at an airport or what input may be required to ensure that the waves always lap on clean
white sands; but at the Rotaract Club of Virgin Gorda, we are now aware and appreciative!
26 | D7020 News

RCVG and BVI Rotary
Mentorship Programme
The Rotaract Club of Virgin Gorda has geological
challenges as it is on a completely different
island to that of their sponsoring clubs. Taking
a 30-45 minute boat ride to visit the clubs can
become exhausting and expensive travelling via
ferry. While there are some familiar Rotarian
faces at meetings and projects, the wider club
membership is often never encountered outside
of the BVI Rotary Family events.
This year, the Rotaract Club of Virgin Gorda’s
aim is to strengthen the relationship between
the members of our parent clubs (the Rotary
Club of Tortola, the Rotary Club of Road Town
and the Rotary Club of Road Town Sunrise) with
our members. In order to achieve this goal, the
Professional Development committee developed
and launched the RCVG and BVI Rotary
Mentorship Programme.
Factors that are included in the programme included bridging a gap between Rotary and
Rotaract in the aim of a successful transition and providing professional guidance to Rotaractors
regarding to their future career path.
Rotaractors were paired with Rotarians based on their career goal and/or their interest.
Mentors and mentees were to remain in contact with one another and will evaluated by the
end of the quarter to determine the progress of the programme, changes if any and identifying
what needs to improve and solutions to challenges being faced.
No Conflict: Promote Peace Campaign
During the month of February, the Rotaract Club of Virgin Gorda is conducting a month
long campaign to end conflict and to promote peace globally. The campaign will feature
photographs of spreading
kindness and peace throughout
social media using the
hashtags #bekindbvi #unityisourstrength
and #promotepeace.
Interested in joining
the campaign? All you have
to do is conduct a photograph
that is solving a conflict, conducting
kind gestures or doing
something good. Including
with each picture, there
is a peace quote that ties in
with the nature of each photograph.
