Snow Hill Rotary accepted the Think Caribbean Challenge and Twining program offered by Zones 33-34 of Rotary Internationals last year. After putting in their applications, the Think Caribbean committee called and announced their twin program, Cayman Brac Rotary Club. This was an exciting announcement and immediately Snow Hill Rotary contacted the club. After a few introductory e-mails the clubs have now begun to work together on projects. On October 15, Snow Hill Rotary was visited by Rotarian from the Cayman Brac Rotary Club, Dr. Brain Enright. Dr. Enright is President of National Training Networks that happens to be headquartered in North Carolina. Dr. Engright talked to the group about his relationship with Rotary and how he came to live on Cayman Brac. Snow Hill Rotary and Cayman Brac have pledged to work together and begin to build the relationship of the Rotary pledge "Service Above Self". Pictured in the photo is the Snow Hill Rotary club holding gifts that Dr. Enright brought and on the far left is Dr. Enright. Cayman Brac is an island that lies about 88 miles northeast of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean Sea. Snow Hill and Cayman Brac Rotary are very excited about the ability to work together to achieve service. The only other club in the district that is currently twinned is the Rotary Club of New Bern, they are matched up with the Rotary Club of St. Thomas.
