Rotary Annual Senior Luncheon

Annually, the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman partners with the Cayman Islands Tourism Association (CITA) and they throw a fun-filled Party for all the Seniors in the Cayman Islands. Senior citizens from all districts are bussed to the First Baptist Church Hall for the occasion. CITA provides transportation and all the food and the Rotary Club members organize the logistics of the event and are also on hand as volunteers the day of the party.

Acting Governor Donovan Ebanks gave a brief and very heartwarming address at the beginning of the party. He enjoyed spending time speaking personally with the senior citizens as he visited the various tables around the room.

Various prizes are given out and this year's winners are:

Oldest Gentleman: Cromwell Ebanks {91 years old}
Oldest Lady: Lillian Piercy {96 years old}
Couple Married the Longest: Mr. Cromwell Ebanks & Mrs. Leah Ebanks
Mother with the Most Children: Doris Florient Mejia {had 15 children}

Romance in Jamaica

here are photos with captions:

The lush walkway between spa services at Fern Tree Spa at Half Moon Bay gives time for personal thoughts to float.

Fellowship with friends is to always be treasured. There is surely romance in hours of uninterrupted time together sharing lives and laughter.

Searlina and Simon join their friends on their rafts as they all float dreamily together down the Martha Brae, located only 25 miles from Montego Bay.

Experiencing the romance of being piloted down a river on a 30-foot bamboo raft are busy professionals Searlina Bodden and Simon Pairaudeau.

What can be more romantic than in intimate gathering on the sun kissed lawn of a private villa.

Launching a drive down a par 5 at Half Moon Golf Club while admiring the outstanding views. The tranquility that a round of golf provides makes it an easy way to spend quality time with loved ones.

The trained butler and cook at the private villas pay special attention to the details of a meal together.

An entire night full of stars are more brilliant above the 9000 acres of darkness at Good Hope, located near Montego Bay.

Amidst softly lit paper lanterns, the staff prepare for a romantic reception. The thoughtfully designed landscape lighting creates a luxurious evening .

The mountainous Jamaican terrain provides a dramatic backdrop to the romantic ceremony of Natalie Coleman and Sandy Urquhart at Good Hope.

Flowing layers of fine fabric enhance the nostalgia and Jamaican romance of Good Hope’s rich history (build in 1755)

Richly landscaped gardens at the Villas at Half Moon Bay

Friends and family gather at the private villa for beverages and fellowship before dinner.
