Below is the copy of an email sent by IPG Joseph Benfield to the members of the Caribbean District. We also share with you the list of winners from the Q2 Awards ceremony.
My friends,
Saturday night was awesome! We had a terrific Awards Function and from your many comments to me afterwards I know those of you who were there enjoyed it just as much as I did. It was a wonderful evening.
My heartfelt gratitude and compliments to our Immediate Past DST (Sandi) and her team... CP Latoya, DST Heather, CP Kenneth, PP Paula, PG Cecille, CP Norman, for the wonderful ambiance they created setting the stage for an exciting night.
While it was great, it was tough, because I know personally and first hand the great work done by so many of you; so it was particularly difficult to determine the winners. While we had to have some winners, the true winners are the children of the region we call home because you truly reached across the Caribbean and joined hands (in) helping our children to shine.
Thank you for a wonderful year. Congratulations and all the very best in all your future endeavors and thank you for all the awards, plaques, gifts and well wishes. They mean the world to me.
Cheers,
IPG Joe
