Antique Auto Club. - Shawn Thomas was elected Assistant Secretary in the Club’s recent election. Shawn joined the Club in September, 2010, shortly after attending the Kiwanis Club’s Antique Auto Show and Cook-out, where she met some of the members of the Antique Auto Club. Since joining she has been active in all facets of the Club and very supportive when asked to assist with anything.

When asked how she felt about it, she responded ““I am delighted to serve on the board of The Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas. We are sharing a love of vintage cars, offering meaningful assistance to children’s charities and I enjoy being part of the positive role models promoting traditional values in fun and creative ways.”

President Adrian Hanna very simply stated “I am most happy to have Shawn on my board. She brings a lot to the table and I’m sure will be a big help over the next couple of years”.

The Antique Auto Club of The Bahamas was formed in 1987 by six men interested in the restoration and preservation of vintage automobiles. The Club is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year with a membership of 70 men & women. The 30th Anniversary Antique Auto Show & Cook-out will be held at Arawak Cay on Saturday, March 18.

St Anne’s Interact Club. - St Anne’s Interact Club members collected several large garbage bags of trash along the beach from Arawak Cay to Junkanoo Beach recently.

Cruise ship tourists complimented students on a job well done which helped boost their moral. The camaraderie was awesome to see.

Rotary Club of East Nassau with Rotary Club of Old Fort. - The Rotary Club of East Nassau, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Old Fort and with members of the Bahamian community, will host the “Fusion of Melodies: An Evening with Bahamian Musicians.”
