In Life they are three types of friends; those who are there for a
reason, those for a season and others for a lifetime. I rather friends
who carry all 3 titles and with that one name comes to mind and it is
none other than IP District Treasurer/Webmaster Rachel Boyce. Without
someone like her then the CAribbean Atlantic District would still be in
formation. Let me describe her in these three categories using the
district instead of friends. Rachel, the reason - Being
Treasurer two consecutive years she has been able to assist the
district in keeping a healthy bank account. Being Webmaster she has
been able to pull off what others have only dreamt about and that is
the official website of the Caribbean-Atlantic District. This is what
you call Rachel being in the District for a reason. Rachel, the season - When she
joined Key CLub I believed she had a mission. This mission would
probably be to uplift the Key Club in any way she could. Her years in
Key Club felt like a company who in its first year had a 30 million
dollar profit. This is what you call Rachel being in the District for a
season. Rachel, for a lifetime - It
seems as if we wont survive without her but we are trying our
best and we are succeeding . The words of the final verse of the
Alexandra School Song go like this, "We are following the pathway led
by those of yesteryear. Who have behind a challenge, bid us take it
without fear. As we leave for those who follow trails upwards to the
stars. Joyfully we hear the echo, PER ARDUA AD ASTRA."
Per Ardua Ad Astra means through difficulty to the stars and if you
read the verse again you would see it speaks about Rachel and how we
try to follow in her footsteps, not only hearing but seeing the
difficulty she encountered but still reached the stars to ensure that
is where the Caribbean Atlantic District is placed. This my friends is
Rachel for a lifetime.
At this time I want to THANK
her for all her hard work, which even though she is no longer in Key
Club continues to do to insure the well being of her District.
