Mrs. Soraya A. J. Warner-Gustave, the Rotary District Governor of District 7030, which encompasses the Southern Caribbean and South America, recently made an official visit to Antigua and Barbuda. During her trip, she paid a courtesy call to His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams, the Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda, and Her Excellency Lady Sandra Williams, the Governor General’s Goodwill Emissary. The visit underscored the longstanding relationship between Rotary International and the twin-island nation. Sir Rodney warmly welcomed Mrs. Warner-Gustave and commended the Rotary Clubs for their impactful contributions, particularly in youth development, their support for the Sir Lester Bird Mount St. John’s Medical Centre, and their unwavering commitment to humanitarian service and peacebuilding. The District Governor also spotlighted the upcoming Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), set to take place in Antigua and Barbuda this weekend. The event will bring together over 150 regional participants and approximately 100 local Interact members for a three-day youth development workshop.

The Rotary Club of Antigua has enjoyed the patronage of Their Excellencies since 2014.
