  • SATURDAY OF SERVICE

This was held on Saturday 15th March, 2008, at the Shangri La Home for the Aged, Gopaul Lands, Marabella.  It was hosted for the caregivers who work at the Home and was held from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. followed by lunch.  It took the form of brief presentations made by members of the Club and other resource persons. The presenters were Soroptimists: Roma Thompson, Cherryl Koon How, Sabita Harrikissoon (Dental Care),  and Terry da Silva( Blood Pressure and Sugar Testing), as well as resource persons  Ms. Alison Legall  and Mrs. Nanan, who spoke on Care of the Feet and Occupational Activities of the Elderly respectively. 
The female residents were treated to some pampering and a ‘makeover’ courtesy Sacha Cosmetics.  They were also presented with toiletries courtesy Glaxo Smith-Kline Pharmaceuticals. Members of the Club were present to attend to the needs of the residents while their caregivers attended the brief lectures.  

  • WORLD AIDS DAY

On Friday 18th April, 2008, three AIDS patients and their families from California, Ste. Madeleine and La Brea, were each presented with hampers of foodstuff and a cash donation.   They were all very grateful and appreciative of the gesture made by the Club.  The presentations were made by Aruna Harbaran, Phyllis Gonsalves and Hazel Hassanali.

  • IMPRESS FOR SUCCESS

A successful staging of our IMPRESS FOR SUCCESS programme was held on Friday 11th April, 2008, for the girls of HOLY FAITH CONVENT, PENAL. 
Ms. Jacqui Koon How of the House of Jacqui made an often amusing presentation on Deportment and Etiquette to the students of Forms 1 and 2, who responded immediately to the advice on the correct way to sit even though they soon relapsed into their accustomed postures.
Ms. Camille Ramdial of Camilleon Consulting delivered an interesting session entitled Relationships for Success to the girls of Forms 3 and 4 and this culminated in a presentation by Mr. Hal Greaves and his Interactive Team who dramatically confirmed everything that Camille has said during the session. 
The students of Forms 5 and 6 enjoyed an interactive presentation by Ms.Ramdial on Winning in the Workplace.  These senior girls were preparing to apply for spaces in the Republic Bank Youth Link training programme, so they were keen to discuss the points raised in the presentation.
This programme followed a previous staging of IMPRESS FOR SUCCESS held on Wednesday 27th February 2008, at the CORINTH SIXTH FORM SCHOOL, where over sixty students participated.
The presenters on that day were:

  • Ms. Camille Ramdial – The Value of Self- esteem in Making Wise Career Choices
  • Ms. Jacqueline Ryan-Braithwaite – Job Application and Resume Drafting: Preparing for an Interview
  • Jacqui Koon How  - Dress to Impress
  • Wendy Nobbie –Dealing with Rejection
  • Hal Greaves and his Interactive Team – The Lighter Side of an Important Event

An enjoyable time was had by all on both occasions.

  • WORLD WATER DAY – In observance of this day, an appeal was made at the Club’s Golf Tournament held on Sunday 9th March 2008, for donations to purchase water tanks to be donated to a deserving family.  This appeal yielded one thousand and twenty dollars ($1020.00) which has made it possible to purchase three water tanks and fittings which are soon to be donated. 

A similar appeal was made at the Golf Tournament hosted in 2007. That appeal yielded five hundred and ninety-two dollars and twenty five cents ($592.25) which the Club was able to purchase a 400 gallon water tank which was donated to Wendy Giles of Freeport.
