RCNK 30th Anniversary – Charter Member Feature: Past President Delano ‘Danny’ Hayre

PP Danny is serious about his time. Always the first in attendance, never let it be said that time his time is not money. We caught up with PP Danny for a quick chat and learned a few things. We think you'll learn something too. Enjoy!

RCNK 30th Anniversary – Charter Member Feature: Past President Alwyn George ‘AG’ Smith

PP AG is perhaps the most boastful Calabar old boy you may ever meet. Call him by his titles otherwise do not speak to him. And we say boastful with the utmost respect. See what we did there? He is a man of distinction with the gift of gab. We caught up with for a bit and learnt quite a lot. We know you will too. Enjoy!

10 Years of ‘Women in RCNK’ - 30th Anniversary Celebrations

While Rotary International (RI) admitted women to membership in 1987, the Rotary Club of New Kingston only admitted women to our club 10 years ago on April 30, 2010.

Today we celebrate 10 years of ‘Women in RCNK’ on our 30th Anniversary.

Featured are our current female members who continue to elevate the Rotary flag.

We tip our hat to each of you and thank you for being a part of us. We love and appreciate you!

RCNK 30th Anniversary – Charter Member Feature: Past President Ivan ‘Mitch’ Stephenson

PP Mitch is Mr. Charisma. We highly doubt you can find someone who will say one negative thing about him. He brings to our club a wealth of knowledge and experience, and may now be called our resident historian. We had a quick chat with him for our 30th Anniversary celebrations. Take a read. We hope you are just as intrigued as we are.
