Establishing the Relationship

- Notifies their District Governor or Designate by completing an Agreement Form (Caribbean).
- Forms will be sent to the “Think Caribbean” Committee
- Mainland Rotary Clubs will indicate interest in Twinning and notify the District Coordinator by completing an Agreement Form (Mainland).
- The “Think Caribbean” Committee will match the clubs by their preferences.
- Clubs will contact each other and begin their relationship.
- Both Twin Clubs will report their activities semi-annually, November 1 and May 1.

Finding a Partner
Rotary Clubs from the Caribbean will be asked to select from a list of Rotary Clubs on the mainland with which they would like to establish a Twin Club relationship. Clubs that already have a twin relationship are encouraged to continue that relationship and register an agreement form with the “Think Caribbean” Committee.
Goals
To emphasize Rotary service and friendship.
To establish a long-term relationship with another club.
To enhance understanding of another culture within the Zones.
To provide assistance to one another as needed between two clubs.
During the Rotary Centennial year a Twin Club Program was established. Although the centennial program was completed the idea is a basis for a special Zones 33 and 34 emphasis on partnering Rotary Clubs in the Caribbean rim nations, Districts 7000, 7020, and 7030, with Rotary Clubs on the mainland.
Twin Clubs are two clubs that establish strong ties and have agreed to team up to complete special projects such as Community Service Grants, Friendship Exchanges, and Youth Exchanges. The Twin Clubs are encouraged to establish an agreement and register with the Rotary Zones 33 & 34 “Think Caribbean”
Committee and provide a report on their Twin Club activities semi-annually
