Nassau, Bahamas - On Wednesday, May 22, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires John Dinkelman was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club of South East Nassau’s weekly luncheon meeting held at the East Villa Restaurant on East Bay Street. The Chargé used the opportunity to discuss the strong U.S./Bahamas bilateral relationship as well as the role of the U.S. Embassy and its ongoing outreach initiatives throughout The Bahamas.

Chargé Dinkelman also highlighted his personal experiences as a father of two children affected by autism and noted the Embassy’s ongoing commitment to promote autism awareness through partnerships with Bahamian organizations such as the Resources and Education for Autism and related Challenges (R.E.A.C.H) that provide support for children with special needs and their families. During the meeting, Rotarians also observed a moment of silence to remember the Americans impacted by the deadly tornado that occurred in Moore, Oklahoma earlier this week.

The Rotary Club of South East Nassau is part of a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provide humanitarian service. The club is a part of District 7020, received its charter in September 1976 and has approximately 60 members.
