Peter Turnquest on the Vision for Grand Bahama - Mar 1, 2010 - 10:31:25 AM
Freeport, Bahamas - The following are remarks made by President of the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce at the Grand Bahama Business Outlook on February 25th.
So what is the vision for Grand Bahama?
I am advised that such a vision is being finalized and I hope that it
will be shared with us in due course, but I have to confess I am curious
as to what it will contain and if it will reflect consultation with
the indigenous stakeholders to ensure it relevance and credibility.
Forming a vision for an island like ours is not an easy task considering
the politics and other extenuating circumstances, but is a worthwhile
endeavor to try to bring some focus to our attempts to attract investment
which should be lined up with our educational requirements to ensure
our citizens benefit...

Rotary International turns 105 on February 23rd - Feb 23, 2010 - 7:13:42 AM
During the first Rotary club meeting on 23 February 1905 in Chicago,
Paul Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Hiram Shorey, and Silvester Schiele met to
talk about their personal experiences. Harris then unfolded his general
plan for their club meetings.
This was the simple beginning
of the world’s first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago. It was
created because of Harris’ wish to capture in a professional club the
same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. The
Rotary name derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among
members’ offices...
