The Rotary Club of Antigua is a non-profit organization serving the community <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

through its various programs\/projects under the motto \u2018Service Above Self\u2019. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The annual Christmas Party is over 20 years old. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This year, after a two-year hiatus<\/span><\/span> which was<\/span><\/span> due to covid, it was scaled down to 150 children in Antigua.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span><\/span>he schools represented were TN<\/span><\/span> K<\/span><\/span>irnon<\/span><\/span>, Green Bay, Five Islands<\/span><\/span>, J T Ambrose, Cedar Grove, Bend<\/span><\/span>als, Potters, Pares<\/span><\/span>, Jennings<\/span><\/span> and New Winthorpes. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The children were treated to a day of fun to include face painting, bounce castle, various games and snacks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although Santa did not arrive via the usual firetruck<\/span><\/span> this year<\/span><\/span>, the children were all happy to greet him on foot as he <\/span><\/span>made his grand entrance on<\/span><\/span> the grounds of Rotary House.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Each child was presented with a gift from Santa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Next year the Club plans to revert to its regular parties in Antigua and <\/span><\/span>in <\/span><\/span>Barbuda, catering for 500 students.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A big t<\/span><\/span>hank <\/span><\/span>you to <\/span><\/span>our corporate donors, <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>Government<\/span><\/span> of Antigua and Barbuda<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Rotarians, Rotaracto<\/span><\/span>rs and Interactors!<\/span><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On behalf of President Ilean Ramsey and members of the Rotary Club of Antigua, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year, 2023!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
