NOSTALGIA 2015! The Short Term Fund Raising Committee invites everyone to NOSTALGIA 2015 under the patronage of Dean and Mrs. Smithen. This is an evening of fun, frolic and food at Splash, Fort James on Friday 10th April 2015. Patrice Martin, Calypso Joe, Creole and other artistes will provide entertainment, Chickie’s Sound System will provide the music for dancing and Goddard Catering group the food. Admission is $125.00. Your presence will be a support to the Restoration of the Cathedral.

ASSIST in the restoration: Sincere gratitude to all who have contributed to the Fundraising effort for the restoration of the Cathedral. Funds are low  and we are making every effort to raise some. We applaud organizations and churches that have taken on the challenge to raise the $10,000.00 that was suggested. We are asking those who are employed and are not involved in Fund Raising to consider a donation of E.C.$25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or more monthly for the next ten months. This will go a long way in assisting us to pay the bills. We again invite members to visit the building and see the extent of the work done.——————————————————————————–
