 | Mahase BahadoorsinghClassification: Developer (Keller Williams Realty) , joined Rotary in 1979 and the Rotary Club of Richmond April 4, 1986 Club President 2001-2002 and 2010 - 2011. Three generations in Rotary, his father, brother and nephew. To be a Rotarian in Trinidad was both a badge of honour and a member of an exclusive association. When he was inducted 41 years ago, he was like any other new Rotarian of his time, not fully understanding what Rotary was all about. From a Club with only Chiefs, a few foot soldiers, and no women, projects were often difficult to fulfill. Yet, support was raised over the years with a simple phone call. That was then. |
A memory of Mahase very first successful Rotary project which lasted almost fifteen years, was a simple BBQ. He was on a fundraising committee for years with the intention of raising $40,000 from local businesses. After lots of planning and talking and getting nowhere, being the new "do it" generation, at twenty seven years old, he took charge of the idea and made it happen.
This first project was his introduction to the world of Rotary and he never looked back. The good that even the smallest project brought was fulfilment in itself. The result was money raised with almost ninety percent club involvement and great fellowship. |
