The Castries lions Club, for the past ten years have been
presenting scholarships to students who have succeeded the Common Entrance
Examination to a secondary school, but would have difficulty in finding the
means to allow their attendance. In 2006
the Scholarship was renamed the Roger Eudoxie Scholarship fund after the late
Lion Roger Eudoxie MJF, Past District Governor.
This year the club decided to undertake a comprehensive
review of the scholarship, but realized that the need for such assistance still
existed. Today four students who had
succeeded the examinations to attend four of the Secondary School were invited
with their parents/guardians to receive a one-time bursary. The presentation was made by Esther Eudoxie
who encouraged the students to continue to give of their best.
The Lions as is customary shared some encouraging thoughts
with the students, reminding them that though this was a one off bursary, the lions
were always ready and available to assist in whatever way they needed be it
just to share a concern.
Following the presentation the lions of Castries were joined
by family and the President of the Gros Islet Lions Club to socialize at
Caribbean Cinemas. The comedy was an
action packed one which had lions who usually were asleep at movies ever
attentive. Both before and after the
movie the lions took time to socialize in the Gamehouse.
Congratulations to the recipients of the awards.
Thanks to the Chairperson and members of the Youth
Development Committee for the organization and execution of the activity.
The Chairperson of the Social committee for inviting us to
socialize at the movies, the President of the Gros Islet Club for your company,
and to all the Lions, friends and family who attended to make two activities
the success and fun filled events they were.
CONGRATULATIONS TEAM CASTRIES - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
