October 30th, 2012 – Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago -- James Bond is poised to take the world by storm celebrating fifty years of 007 with its twenty-third film incarnation “Skyfall” starring Daniel Craig. The movie officially infiltrates Trinidad & Tobago on November 7th 2012 with a much anticipated screening that has been co-opted as a significant charity event for the Rotary Club of Port of Spain (RCPOS) and supported by the British High Commission and Trinity Exploration & Production.
The event is dubbed “An Evening of Bond” and will be hosted at the Digicel IMAX Theatre at One Woodbrook Place. It will include a gala cocktail reception, giveaways and a silent auction where
all funds raised by this event will go towards the Rotary Club of Port-of-Spain’s Signature Project for 2012-2013: the construction and commissioning of the
Sea Lots Children's Learning and Activity Centre.
Over the last fifty-seven years, the Rotary Club of Port of Spain and its partner organizations have been involved in numerous charitable, relief and philanthropic programmes and provided humanitarian services to the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. The Club's primary focus has always been to provide financial and organizational support to institutions responsible for the welfare of differently-abled and disadvantaged persons, in particular children, within but not limited to Port-of-Spain and its environs.
The organization continuously strives to raise funds and execute projects to assist a range of institutions and organizations – among them the Princess Elizabeth Centre, Goodwill Industries International, ESHE’S Learning Centre, the Mt. Hope Children’s Hospital and the Gordon Home for the Aged – most of which mirror the Club’s effort to maintain the overall welfare of children in T&T. This latest project of the Club for the children of Sea Lots is geared towards assisting over 700 children in the community, providing a conducive and appropriate environment to foster their holistic development in areas such as academia, culture, social development and general health and wellness. Mr. Trevor Chan Pak, RCPOS President remarked, “We are extremely honoured to host this signature fundraiser under the patronage of the UK High Commission and the corporate support of our title sponsor Trinity Exploration & Production. We look forward to an elegant evening with some fun surprises and great support for the project”.
